9.0 Presentation
A well-told fairy tale that has a considerable amount of backstory for those interested.

9.0 Graphics
A beautiful and imaginative world that looks incredible covered in Corruption or dandelions. A true achievement in artistic design.

8.5 Sound
The music is fantastic and the enemy voices are handled well. The Prince comes off as a bit too much of a jerk and some of his lines feel a bit forced.

9.0 Gameplay
A few minor issues, but the experience itself is one that every gamer should experience.

8.5 Lasting Appeal
The main adventure can be completed in less than 10 hours, but it will take some extra time if you hunt down all the Light Seeds. Unlockable skins add some fun to a second playthrough.

OVER ALL 9.3/10
MUST BUY
