What players think
The recurring themes across 226 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Sound: Tyler Mire’s sound design invokes a certain feeling, the melodies that play with each battle, character, scene, and story twist invoke that snes style.
One of the best combat features is that it actually requires the use of skills/spells instead of being simply "mash attack until I win".
Graphics: When playing this game on stream, I had to constantly hold back my enthusiasm for how great Shadows of Adam looked.
The story is charming, relatable and strongly supported by mostly intuitive game design and fast gameplay.

Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 5 sampled reviews and is not shown.
