Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The attention to detail is amazing, and the photorealism aspect is subtly and effectively aided by factors such as lighting and camera quality to where the game looks polished and rough at the same time.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Exploration is given room to breathe, which makes moments of uncertainty and fear feel more impactful.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combine that expectation with some of the wonderfully unsettling and peculiar vibes of its often cramped environments, not to mention some pretty tight sound design with dragged footsteps and noisy water always giving you a brief feeling of being followed, and here I am shivering in my chair when nothing has happened.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The ending is understated and precise, providing a restrained conclusion that lingers effectively.
