Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
For those made nervous by the unnerving atmosphere of Witness, or those turned off by the pretentious air of the plot of Witness, Taiji might be just the perfect solution.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The understated graphics also age well because they focus on functionality and elegance rather than technical spectacle.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Those seeking a strong narrative, character-driven storytelling, or action-oriented gameplay may struggle to connect with its highly abstract design.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
If you would you pay 20 dollars for for a fan-made DLC with 10 hours of extra Witness puzzles, then you should certainly buy this game, which on top of that metric, is incredibly polished, glitch-free, and has a relaxing soundtrack with excellent environmental sound design as well.
