Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
134 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The core gameplay loop of drafting rooms, resource management and decision making is so well-designed it never gets boring.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
91 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
One of the reasons for that was also the emotional aspect of the ending - Blue Prince's lore is built on the saying of "less is more".
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I like a good deal of the world building, I LOVED the art style and feel of the game.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a shame--I'm going to have to use mods just to make this game playable (and I really didn't want to, the difficulty is perfect if the saves were functional), the development team should fix this.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I really like the gentle sound effects of picking up items and interacting with things.
