What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Oh, the ending is nice too with a nice twist.
This design reinforces a strong sense of progression, as areas that once seemed inaccessible become reachable through newly acquired powers.
The graphics are beyond smooth, there is paralax scrolling we'd never have seen on say the Master System games that obviously inspired it (as well as PC Engine even) the animation is nice, the music is great.
Complementing the visuals is a retro-inspired soundtrack that captures the melodic energy of classic console soundtracks while maintaining modern audio clarity.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
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. 3 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
