Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
61 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Overall, it's entertaining, even if a grind fest of the worst kind.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's your typical "find missing ancient artefacts and beat some evil monsters trying to take over the world" B (or C?) class movie type of story, already the fact that there is actually one and with animations/voicing included, is quite surprising (and very welcomed) which might raise it slightly above other games of this category.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
We are controlling a monster hunter looking guy from a birds perspective, which gives us a quite good overview trough combat.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While the graphics aren't bad and objects stay sharp even on my full HD screen, the devs could have added a option of standard desktop resolutions even if it would be achieved with simple stretching.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's soundtrack is decent, it's got plenty of subtle sounds that add a nice touch to the creepy atmosphere of the game.
