What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Saitou doesn’t boast 80 hours of repetitive gameplay, what it instead contains is much more valuable - is a sincere message about navigating through life, told through a whimsical, magical, amusing story, full of quirky characters, catchy songs, and unexpected twists and turns in a pixar/miyazaki-esque adventure.
Laura Shigihara has again meticulously crafted a soundtrack that perfectly sets the scene (while a couple tracks are effectively reused from Rakuen, they're still used in effective ways).
Graphics/sound: 10/10 - As with Rakuen, another exceptional job with sprites, character designs, and also cutscenes (yes, there are a couple major cutscenes in this one).
