Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I really enjoyed my first three hours of The Bonfire: Forsaken Lands, the stellar low-poly visuals and awesome soundtrack keep you engaged in trying to build up your village while fending off the nightly monster raids.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The game is great and I loved it, and I've replayed it so many times trying out different strategies and paths, so I really hope there becomes a part 2 added into this game, either with the same main character, or possibly we can be introduced to a new character and their story.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
I sort of like the game, but when it says 'Full controller support' it seems to mean you have to have a controller to play.
