43 of 88 sampled reviews raised it
The best thing I can say about the gameplay is that the game has a huge area to explore, and it is absolutely stuffed full of secret areas and side paths.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
21 of 88 sampled reviews raised it
It has lovely graphics, with crisp, vibrant colours, and a 1950's kind of aesthetic to how it looks.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
16 of 88 sampled reviews raised it
It's a reasonably well told story, with some hefty themes behind it, though I don't think their efforts have been executed with quite the gravitas that they think.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 88 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack supports this atmosphere with subtle, ambient compositions that enhance immersion without drawing attention away from the gameplay.
