What players say

95% of 12,906 reviews are positive · 89% of 56 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the writing, creative level concepts, visual style, and thoughtful handling of mental health. Critics find the cutscenes and dialogue overlong, the platforming and combat too basic or restrictive, and the writing weaker than the original.
