Story

25 of 224 sampled reviews raised it
There's a fun, rich and engaging story here although the intro and ending scenes are very basic and revolves to reading a summary of what happened based on the actions you took.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
7 of 224 sampled reviews raised it
The pixel graphics are charming, the animations are fluid(enemy jumps are a bit... eh), the characters follow enjoyable and iconic archetypes, the platforming is tight, the gameplay loop is sound, and each stage of the game, as frustrating as it can be at times, is overall fun.
