They are designated as “moods” and they really offer a replayability factor of their own.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you think de Blob is just another 3D platformer on Steam, well the soundtrack insists on proving you wrong.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The PC port from a technical standpoint seems well optimized, and given it was originally designed around Wii controls it works just fine with a 360 gamepad (minus the occasional button-hammering segments).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
My graphics card doesn't hit recommended and my cpu is mediocre but the game runs at a flawless 60fps.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Although the narrative is straightforward, it succeeds because it reinforces the game's central themes of freedom, artistic expression, and hope.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You can discover most of the painting mechanics by yourselves and the game features some very thorough tutorials along with low-difficulty initial challenges which manage to accommodate even genre beginners.
