Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
145 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game is directed towards children (what with the child protagonist, child-like illustrations in cut-scenes, and simple story), but is enjoyable for adults as well.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
139 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Puzzles were good, exploration is interesting enough, but the combat leaves a lot to be desired as it's very repetitive and easy.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
65 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I enjoyed the visuals and a lot of the puzzles were quite fun.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
46 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The music and sound design are definitely both major positives; I really enjoyed the calming music and ambient sounds in this game, and the more intense music was good, too.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The keyboard/mouse setup is actually really awful because you steer with the mouse but on controller it's fine.
