What players think
The recurring themes across 279 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
As you can see, the story of this game seems to be very RPG standard, you know, be the hero, save the kidnapped princess, slay the dragon and while that’s true, that’s NOT our story, we follow the same path as the hero but our objective is completely different, our presence in this world brings joy and hope for those who get slayed and kicked by the hero, who is a dumbass and a merciless vile character, in this world our objective won’t be kill the monsters but help them, chat and learn about the people who live in this world, explore the different places of this lovely place and of course, end the story in a different way.
The gameplay is very addicting, due to the satisfying, yet sometimes complicated puzzles.
Its the little things like the sound design of Banjo-Kazooie styled voices, but also the ambience and general soundtrack being quiet, but present, something I've noticed more that a good sound track and design (but not great) are often forgotten but help make the game's atmosphere what it is.
When it comes to visuals, you can expect a PSX game with sharper details given the different panels we have nowadays but overall the visual aspect hasn’t been changed and, to be honest, I don’t think it needs to change anything, it’s a product of its moment, game is 25 years old and as so it’s being shown, however, the art style and the imaginary put in this game is lovely and mind blowing.
