It’s was a huge relief to have these side quests there, which is unfortunately also telling of the low retention power possessed by the game’s current mechanics.

51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Without spoiler to much, the plot of this game is actually pretty good and actually keeps the player doing the missions.
Graphics

48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sharp, clean vector graphics, pastel colours and interesting little secret items littered all over the place make this a great world to explore.

29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat mechanics function really well and are very fluid, just know the game is high-difficulty.
