Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
153 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I will not spoil anything, but I found the story to have a great deal of heart to it, and my personal take is that there is no definitive answer to what happened once you reach the conclusion.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
123 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The abilities make for satisfying gameplay, and the adaptive difficulty worked well.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
65 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics 8 – It’s a joy to see the origami and page turning like graphics.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
58 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Overall, though, the difficulty felt well-balanced and the gameplay was fun despite a few hiccups here and there.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat system was touched on above in some detail, and it's a brilliant idea that challenges those of us who want to put our typing skills to the test (the “Arena” mode, separate from the main story, is a great way to work on some of the trickier achievements).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design is great with the pages turning to the sound of paper being written.
