Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
- The one downside is the cutscenes are incredibly short, and I wish the narrator who has a great voice could have read through more of the dialogue you encounter throughout the level which would have enhanced the experience a fair bit.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
+ The gameplay is great, you play as a fairly slow moving old "begger", but you find a mask that let's you inherit god-like abilities to change parts of the level around you...like moving rain clouds, rotating the level to make things fall, and so fourth.
