What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
still starting with positives something i really liked seeing is the progression of Cody's skills and how he really feels like hes growing up with how he can eventually be taught well enough to take care of himself by the time day 45 rolls around. something i wish that didn't happen though is that when you choose the option that lets you play as Cody the game gives you all the base skills that Anling didn't have the time to teach him. it doesn't make sense for a game to be really forgiving about this when its really punishing with everything else even on easy mode. it would've been cool to really feel how much you failed Cody as a parent. and its one of the main driving factors in trying to go out of your way to teach him things, i was actually looking forward to seeing if Cody had enough knowledge to survive. but honestly this is less of a gripe and more confused by given the marketing.
-The art style is lovely.
Also, note I was playing with a ps4 controller.
I am also playing on steam deck which this game is apparently verified for (though I would have to disagree).

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.
