Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
170 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What matters the most about the quests is all the story and dialogue behind them.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
138 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sometimes it can be a little buggy, but no crashes or major clitches, so nothing that disrupts the gameplay and its absolutely worth it to be a little patient.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
77 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While the graphics, sound, attention to detail and level design are all top notch, sometimes the game falls short, particularly when it comes to bigger story events (enemies bugging out when fighting each other, NPCs not reacting properly to recent events etc.).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound design is good too and the music is great and very fitting for the different locations and characters.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
character design is fantastic - excellent attention to detail (Tilo is so adorable with his little tail and whiskers)
