Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
150 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The movement is fluid and a sheer blast to engage with, and the combat, while not quite on-par with KH (that's kinda hard to top honestly) is still dynamic enough that I've had a lotta fun with it.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
129 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story has been quite moving and honestly made me tear up at some points, it's heartfelt and teaches some meaningful lessons about loss and staying present.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
128 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The exploration is where it really shines, I 100 % the game in about 20 hours or so and enjoyed my time with it.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has such a distinct art style, and I wouldn't be surprised if it won "best art direction" at GOTY.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I played on the hardest default difficulty, and it was pretty doable.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The first thing that stuck out to me was the voice acting and writing.
