Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
115 of 291 sampled reviews raised it
I’ve only clocked about 10 hours, but there’s potentially 20-30 hours of engaging gameplay for fans of stealth/hunting.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
50 of 291 sampled reviews raised it
I really like that combat and exploration are intertwined, never having one without the need of the other.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
48 of 291 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay is fun, I really appreciate that all the UI is diegetic - it lets the level design and graphics really shine.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
33 of 291 sampled reviews raised it
As a fan of Clifford Meyer's previous projects and metal in general, the soundtrack is a delight and incredibly fitting of the tone and atmosphere.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
24 of 291 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay loop is fun, feels good, and is consistent in both evolution and difficulty curve -- you'll always feel challenged, and you'll always feel accomplished in besting those challenges.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
23 of 291 sampled reviews raised it
The lack of action-heavy gameplay means that the atmosphere and narrative are the real stars here, allowing you to focus entirely on the unfolding mystery.
