What players think
The recurring themes across 120 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
🟩 A well-written and detailed storyline helps emphasise the opposing sides and their motivations as they begin to unfurl during the campaign.
With its unique art style and emphasis on exploration, Cantata seeks to revolutionise the genre by breathing fresh life into it.
It is still fairly priced for the interesting experience and I expect should supply roughly 20 hours of gameplay with the current content.

The soundtrack continuously surprised me and filled me with pride for the team I was fighting for, but the animation sounds don't really vary that much and everything beneath the music sort of blends into itself over time.
The entire turn can effectively "freeze" preventing you from even opening the game menu to save or exit, much less issue orders and continue playing.

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.
