Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics are fine and the ambience is not too bad either... the voice actor/narrator is very good compared to the other aspects of this game... then after 15 minutes we get to the boss and... the character is stuck moonwalking and unable to use their grappling hook.

There is a great deal of potential here, not only in terms of gameplay but also regarding the story of the mother and child.
