Graphics: 4/5

The graphics are very simple and look, to be honest, like a drawing of a 10-year-old child. However, we cannot say that this is a clear flaw in the game. After all, the main task of graphics is to complement the gameplay and create an atmosphere. And this level for The Legend of Bum-Bo was quite enough. There are a lot of sweeping strokes and only a few details.

Replay Value: 3/5

One of the main problems of puzzle games is that they have not very high replay value. The reason is very simple: once you finish the game, you have already known all the secrets. You do not need to strain your brain or think hard. Another issue is the absence of a multiplayer mode. The Legend of Bum-Bo has only a single-player mode. But, overall, believe us it is worth to try to pass the game at least at first.
