Story

112 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Each module's story is written in a way that makes the mystery really engaging, and I often found myself interacting with everything on the map just to see how they unfold.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
78 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I would say it is one of Depersonalization's greatest strengths along with its charming pixel aesthetic and freedom of exploration to truly make you in charge of what you would like to do in each module's story.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Once you get to the point where you finish every module (translated and made available by the game in English), you have so many traits and combat abilities to mix and match to make a truly unique investigator.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For instance, they’ve already addressed the limited number of playable characters modals, which was a concern I had earlier, and I’m glad to see that improvement.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combined with a lighting effect and background it delivers just about information to feel engage into the story.

Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Immersive stories, great characters, core gameplay is very expansive with steep learning curve.
