Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
24 of 43 sampled reviews raised it
Just like the look of it, the gameplay feels very retro (although more smooth and responsive than actual old games I suppose?), which could be off-putting or frustrating to players who have a hard time mastering this kind of game, but personally it felt very natural and intentional, so it's exactly what it should be IMO.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
12 of 43 sampled reviews raised it
But even the best story doesn't matter much if the game's not fun to play.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
4 of 43 sampled reviews raised it
Keep in mind that this will release in Early Access and content is subject to change.This game looks and feels like a love letter to old school gameboy games even down to its retro inspired graphics.
