Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
53 of 214 sampled reviews raised it
It is overflowing with creativity and an absolute blast to play, with plenty of replayability, all DLC’s included upon purchasing the game, and with a fair price of $AU22.95, I highly recommend it.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
29 of 214 sampled reviews raised it
I really liked the ending as well, there's a final level and epilogue after the 1st credits sequence, so be sure you keep playing after the "final" boss.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
21 of 214 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty is pretty fair and I had no trouble playing through the game casually.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
16 of 214 sampled reviews raised it
Being a musical platformer, the soundtrack is arguably the most vital element, and I can say with confidence that it is fantastic, upbeat and everchanging.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Add to that colorful cozy pixel graphics, fun screen-filling bosses (some of them optional and cleverly hidden), and great level variety ranging from your typical woods, deserts and lava-filled caverns to some nice surprises late in the game, Songs to a Hero is an absolute winner.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
6 of 214 sampled reviews raised it
I highly recommend you play with a controller (as you should all platformers.) The english singing voice was... something you get used to.
