Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
167 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a great story with a fantastic lore unlocking system that gives you a very well-written beginning to end, You start the game being dropped into the middle of nowhere with a very obtuse task to follow to understanding the entire history of the land the game takes place in (most lore is in text form and requires you to discover objects that slowly unlock the greater story at play).
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
154 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Moving forward in the game requires solving puzzles that take thought and an attention to detail to solve, along with excellent exploration.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The positive things I can take away from this game are, like I said initially, the setting, atmosphere, alongside the world building, the visuals, sound design, general performance and the overall feeling it gives you when playing through the world in the game.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The Soundtrack in combination with the world they built was absolutely my highlight, this really is a vibes game.
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It’s also worth mentioning that the game ran very smoothly it’s well optimized, at least in my experience.
