Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
33 of 90 sampled reviews raised it
This will go away once the game actually reaches its finale with the narrative but the stable mechanics are smooth sailing and the relatively attentive developers are clearly working on this game with weekly updates where change is incontestably evident as you boot it up one week and then the next to compare.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
14 of 90 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is the main draw here in The Story Goes On, and for the most part it works just fine.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
12 of 90 sampled reviews raised it
It has friendly, albeit simple, visuals and for the most part is simple to grasp and play.
