Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Progression is constantly steady, and the day-cycle similar to Stardew Valley encourages a "just one more day" mantra that can have you playing into the early morning.
66 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Simple but pretty graphics, a beautiful handcrafted map to explore, mechanics that are fun to engage with without being excessively complicated.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
A penalty for not ending the day in a roundhouse would be perfect.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The sound design and original soundtrack are also incredible, and one could be forgiven for believing it was the work of the dedicated team of a AAA studio.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
Controller support also feels more like an afterthought.
