Yeah, the plot is rather...unexplained.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Hold on a second because if just like the Great Cthulhu you hunger for more don't worry, the gameplay itself is expansive and flawless offering several different modes to explore and master making it incredibly versatile and providing loads of replayability.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The modernized old-school graphics are as delightful as the quirky personalities given to each of the characters as the colors strike the perfect balance between vibrancy and gothic horror derived from this comical tribute's namesake.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
It's hard to imagine that such a great game could be paired with an equally epic soundtrack but you'd better believe it is because the OST is OVER 9000!
