The verdict
A timeless, gorgeous ink-painted Zelda-like with a great story, music and charm. Skip it if you hate slow pacing, endless unskippable dialogue, or a 30fps PC port with blur and controller quirks.
Great for
Players who love art-driven adventures, Zelda-style exploration, Japanese folklore and patient, story-rich pacing
Main risk
Slow, dialogue-heavy pacing and a dated, 30fps-locked PC port with blur and controller issues
What players love
Moving story and lovable characters
Mentioned in ~1 in 3 positive reviews
“Still one of the best games ever, story and dialogue-wise. I ended up caring way too much about the characters. We may have cried a lot at the ending.”

Shallow, repetitive, too-easy gameplay
Mentioned in ~1 in 5 negative reviews
“The gameplay is so abysmally uninteresting and repetitive that you'll realise that the game is really an 8-10hr experience stretched to fit a 35-40hr package.”
