Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I understand the desire to show more of the level for gameplay purposes, but it does make the characters look a bit featureless and generic

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
At the time of me writing this review, with the full version of the game (which I found heavily discounted ~ what a lovely surprise that was) I'm at just under 40 hours and about to start level 21 (Mountains 6).

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The visuals capture the essence of each area extremely well, with the detailed backgrounds and distinctively different areas that you’ll explore.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
The game also supports coop, which doubles the fun as you and a friend experiment with elemental magic together.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
It's evident much love and care has gone in to this, from all the different combinations of stealth and elemental wielding in gameplay, to world building and art/sound design.
