However, the story could be absolutely incredible, but bad gameplay takes way at least one point from that 10/10.

The gameplay manages to be a dice oriented combat system that still feels deeply strategic and complex without being overwhelming.

Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.

A lot of doing well in the combat revolves around understanding how certain mechanics interact and using them to your advantage.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

Complementing this visual craft is the magnificent soundtrack, composed by Mili and other contributors, which shifts seamlessly between eerie ambient melodies, tragic ballads, and adrenaline-pumping battle themes.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I must say that Library of Ruina is a tad bit harder than Lobotomy Corporation, it's quite fun, the visuals feel nice and we get a good amount of world building, the gameplay compared to Limbus feels smoother and more straightforward.
