Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The world is quite frankly stunning, with each area having it's own theme and a decent, if not mind-blowing, fairytale story running along in the background.
169 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
+ Really nice graphics, especially the art during cutscenes and the underwater dungeon!
66 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The sound design is also pretty good.
58 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
TL:DR; Pretty but unrewarding, slow progression and a game more focused on exploration than combat.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
Played with an xbox controller and it worked perfectly, the turn based gameplay, and grid like movement, helps the control feel perfectly fine, VR gives a great sense of presence and of course immersion.
