Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The story is told very subtly—mostly through visuals and the ruins you find—which gives off a great sense of mystery.
75 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
If there was creative mode I'm sure the game would lose its charm very quickly since there is very little you can do, all the gameplay comes from low resources and hard mechanics.
