    The story of "The Redress of Mira" is generally viewed as predictable and unoriginal, primarily conveyed through books scattered throughout the game rather than through traditional gameplay or cutscenes. While some players appreciate the atmospheric setting and the intertwining narratives of various families, many criticize the lack of closure for certain characters and the reliance on reading, which can detract from the overall experience. Despite its shortcomings, the game offers an engaging narrative for those who enjoy exploration and reading within a fantasy context.

    • “The storylines of Mira’s family, the mercenary’s, and the baron’s are intertwined and revealed through books located inside chests placed on Mira’s path, each of them unfolding one chapter of the whole story.”
    • “The atmosphere and music are nice, the story we find in chests is intriguing and helps the protagonist to make the final choice (I chose the good ending).”
    • “Although the game seems disjointed in the beginning, things tie together as you discover more books and the story takes shape.”
    • “The story is ok, but except for the short and meaningless introduction, it is only told via books you can find.”
    • “If you don't properly look around everywhere, you can miss books and therefore maybe miss crucial parts of the story, which is an odd decision from the developers.”
    • “The story is not narrated but has to be read in this game.”
  • gameplay23 mentions

    Gameplay in the reviewed game is a mixed bag, featuring large levels that often lead to monotonous movement and simplistic mechanics that fail to engage players. While there are some interesting puzzle elements and new mechanics introduced, many players find the combat and boss fights lacking depth, with stiff animations detracting from the overall experience. Despite attempts to innovate, the gameplay can feel repetitive and disconnected from the narrative, leaving some players bored.

    • “Interesting (albeit simple) puzzle mechanics, and even a little swordplay.”
    • “This game introduces many new mechanics for his games, and brings in a lot of old ones too, to make the most complete package of any game by him up to this point.”
    • “Now to the nuts and bolts of Mira's gameplay: this is a different 1st-person game that Tonguc has created here, another interesting venture of his into fantasy RPG gaming, differing widely from the genre of what some (unfairly) call his 'walking simulators.' He's progressing now to more true adventure games, with RPG elements, not the least of which here include platform jumping and mana-collecting, along with a female protagonist (a beautiful 'elfin' woman).”
    • “Levels that are way too big, so that most of the gameplay is spent just moving forward while pressing the 'run' button (and that's also often too slow).”
    • “Unfortunately, the animations or lack thereof that accompany many of the new mechanics are so stiff and janky that they detract from the experience.”
    • “While the mechanics are easy to understand, in my opinion the boss fight is made unnecessarily complex and doesn't fit that well with the relaxing pace which is innate to the walking simulator genre.”
