Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
In that sense, it feels more like writing assembling code than TIS ever did.
19 of 71 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics are nice and polished, the music is fine but limited to a few tracks and is nothing extraordinary, and the sounds are realistic.
4 of 71 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
While there are targets for runtime and component usage the game's sheer weight and inherent complexity do not lend its self well to micro-optimization and I can very much see why they skipped building this part.
