Graphics

113 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Necrophosis has great visuals, interesting lore and good world-building that unfortunately gets drastically undercut at the game's finale thanks to a lack of meaningful choices/consequences and some oddly repetitive game mechanics at what should have been the emotional climax.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
92 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I really enjoyed the literary references, the poetic style of speaking used by the NPCs, the various dilemmas brought up throughout the narrative.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
83 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Amazing concept & even better storyline, simplistic gameplay for maximum atmosphere, gorgeous artwork/design heavily inspired by H.R.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound effects and background music made the atmosphere even stronger and pulled me into the story.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Great experience: atmospheric walking mixed with reasonable puzzle difficulty, layered with an awe-inspiring artistic rendition of chaos and decay; puzzle challenges start with an awareness curve but become more comprehensive as the story progresses; Reading the lore and items do a great job setting the tone; and the writing feels well thought out, grasping at a greater beyond.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I played at 4K all max settings and DLSS turned off – I was getting well over 100 fps.
