Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Story wise it's pretty solid it's only really told via notes and newspapers you find no cutscenes or anything, but still the narrative relates directly to current events I'll say without spoiling too much.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay is what you might expect if you play a lot of the genre, some enjoyable puzzles and running from baddies ect, fun but nothing we havn't seen before.

Stunning visuals with a photo mode option.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Sound design wise it's decent, but I think some more ambient sounds might help the overall atmosphere, I kinda feel it was lacking in that area, the music is a lad uninspired as well imo.
