Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Note that while I'm going to compare this to its most obvious counterpart, Spirit City: Lofi Sessions, it's worth mentioning that Ithya distinguishes itself quite nicely with the gorgeous 2D graphics and fantasy playlists, rather than the usual lofi (though there are a few of those, as well.) You certainly don't have to pick one over the other.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
TL;DR: If you're on a budget and can only choose one, Spirit City: Lofi Sessions has more customization, more songs, and more frequent updates.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Soundtrack-wise, the game helpfully lists what kind of music each playlist contains when you browse them, so it's easy to narrow it down to what you're in the mood for.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its nice that you feel like you get a loose progression of story (your character grows a s a magician and adventures to new places) as you keep working towards your real life goals.
