The game in itself is very pleasant, the story is well-narrated, the characters are likeable, and the graphics are quite beautiful.
However, it can prove extremely annoying when two or three characters on the same screen as you keep on ramming into each other, bringing the boring "pardon me, sir" or whatever dialogue that interrupts your conversation if you were having one. Your conversation continues afterwards, but if you're being interrupted all the time, it's really frustrating.
Also, when Ratpouch, your acolyte, follows you, which he does during nearly the entire game, he also keeps on getting in your way, so your character sometimes bumps into Ratpouch, or somebody else, then goes, absolutely out of control, to the other side of the screen, and you have to wait until you can control him again.
Despite all these faults, I truly enjoyed the game, thanks to the things I first staed. The story is developed very smoothly, and unlike in many other adventure games, there's not a lot of stuff to go through in order to get to where you want to go, and that's very pleasant.
I had to take a look at the walkthrough a few times because I really couldn't figure how to get some things done, but the overall difficulty is just as challenging as it needs to be.
So, even if it has some big gameplay faults, I rated it 4/5, because I really enjoyed playing it and finished it quickly, and that's how I know I love a game.
