Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
They are designated as “moods” and they really offer a replayability factor of their own.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
- While I cannot speak for keyboard/mouse controls, having played with a PS4 controller was still a chore, mostly because the camera in this game works fine horizontally but barely at all vertically, the lock-on for your jumping does whatever it wants, and your key bindings CANNOT be checked from in-game.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
- To underscore said atmosphere, de Blob features some of the most stunning music and sound design I have ever heard in a game.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
So I glossed over a few reviews before writing this one and I agree that this game is nice, but I haven't seen a single person give this a critical look.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The visual effects aren’t annoying, even though the graphics overall don’t feel particularly fresh, even for 2017.
