Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
All the fun stuff in Goblin Stone is undone by the undercooked economy and bloated number of quests required to progress through the chapters.
92 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I'm not yet certain if there is true meta-progression between full runs of the game, but there's lots of things to progress at your base by upgrading rooms, unlocking classes, buying weapons and breeding better goblins and such, so you can feel the overall progression slowly as you send your teams out on their missions.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Furthermore, the art style is amazing as well, especially the crazy variants of goblins one can gather!

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Art, story, and voice acting is stellar - this is a story that is funny, heartwarming, and totally unexpected!

Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
I'm a bit surprised by the lack of controller support, I'm playing on the steam deck, It's working well, but adding that couple of controller interaction would make the experience that much more enjoyable, I'm looking forward to the future updates the dev will provide.
