Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
This made progression very underwhelming in this game, lacking that power fantasy MV's are so good at.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
+ nice map with several shortcuts and enough diversity in biomes (of course you can only create so much atmosphere with this kind of low-res pixel graphics)

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The art style is truly impressive, the soundtrack is perfect, and the difficulty is challenging in many places but always fair.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
After a few hours i gave up and used the games' rather impressive accesibility menu to increase my stats, which is the reason i'll lean towards a thumbs up.
