Overall though Saira offers a good deal of platformer and puzzle gameplay, there are multiple ending aswell though I haven ot experienced all of them.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
26 of 182 sampled reviews raised it
Sadly, unlike Undertale's fantastic, massively rewarding story, there isn't really much to redeem Saira from its own appearance.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
17 of 182 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay is fun (but a little slow), it makes great use of more minimal graphics, and the music... isn't awful.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
11 of 182 sampled reviews raised it
I highly recommend this game to anyone that likes atmosphere and discovery, though I advise patience with the game as the platforming is unforgiving and the timed trials will own you.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
7 of 182 sampled reviews raised it
The visual beauty is there, the perfectly minimalistic sound design is there, the sense of wonder, the feeling of calm exploration, the distinctive touch of Nifflas, all there, but the issues with the controls become grating quickly and prevent it from being as enjoyable as it could be.
