Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I just love it when game developers can make a world feel ever-evolving while still allowing a way in the late game for you to complete side quests you picked up in the first 15 minutes.

I found this method of exploration + progression to be the best.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
overall this game gets a thumbs up. to set expectations, the best thing about the game is its art style and soundtrak. combat also shines, but even that is not perfect, and by the end i avoided all but unique boss fights whenever possble, normal encounters too grindy. the funny, lighthearted tone of the characters makes fun of what is otherwise a very unoriginal and formulaic overarching plotline. the exploration can sometimes take you to cool settings but more often than not you spend 40-50% of thegame wandering around to find the place that triggers next quest - the worst and most trivial part of the game. for me it is a 7/10 game, was good fun or steam deck and worth my 20 hours but not one id write home bout either. which is tough to say since i know its indie nd lot of heart wnt into it

-The soundtrack was beautifully composed, and was almost always much better than the 'filler' music that so many other games just throw in.
