Story

81 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I did enjoy the darker, sadder story about Niko's past, but it was harshly contrasted by the rest of the game.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
67 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game has a solid 8 hours of gameplay (if you collect everything) and countless references/jokes/wholesome dialogues.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The drawings are honestly cute, but the art style of everything else is rather bland.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It maintains the learning curve and difficulty pretty well and I was on the edge of my seat with some of the challenges.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In addition to the cute babbling, the game also offers a full soundtrack and lots of ambient sounds and sound effects.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The aesthetics are colorful and soft, the character design is adorable (my favorites are Nina and Niko), there are a few decent jokes cracked by the characters you'll meet, and just jumping across the levels does feel satisfying.
