The game was precise to the story, it had simple mechanics with an easy difficulty(kinda struggled with the first boss), the sound track was alright and liked the fact that the game had a narrator.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics - The graphics are great, it really emulates the 3D platformers, however as stated the game has a lack of ideas at times so it can be quite sparse.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound design is still very smooth and on point, it completely compliments the whole thing, it takes you to the right mood with little effort and helps the story.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Objectively speaking gameplay wise a Mario 64 has more varietry, difficulty and content in gameplay (and honestly everything else except maybe graphics).
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Voice acting isn't the best, but by no means ruins the game and I found the character design to be really charming and adorable.
