Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The art style is gorgeous but the world itself pretty small with little to nothing to see other than a few interesting characters and bland boring dungeon 3D backgrounds that could very well be asset flips.

Gameplay

Young Souls, despite it's rather generic name instantly got my attention and motivated me to play more from the first second of gameplay.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
I played solo, so can't speak to co-op.

Accessibility
Players who bring up Accessibility mostly praise it.
There's plenty of difficulty/accessibility options so it's probably playable for most.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack complements this style perfectly: upbeat, electronic tracks accompany the action above ground, while darker, more percussive themes add tension to the subterranean battles.
