What players say
96% of 14,496 reviews are positive · 92% of 128 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.
