Story

65 of 255 sampled reviews raised it
The writers did a great job with the themes, the characters, and the storyline, but this game is so frustrating for all the wrong reasons.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
25 of 255 sampled reviews raised it
Not as much atmosphere as some of the other games that are set in Ireland etc. but still really fun and a decent amount of gameplay.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
17 of 255 sampled reviews raised it
Nancy was still the main character, which I enjoyed, and never felt like she took a back seat even with playing as her friends for most of the game.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
10 of 255 sampled reviews raised it
Most of the puzzles were the right amount of difficulty, a little tricky but solvable.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
7 of 255 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are great in terms of the various environments you get to explore but the actual people / characters seemed fuzzy and out of focus.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 255 sampled reviews raised it
The mystery is actually pretty solid and most of the cast is entertainingly written with solid voice acting (Nancy still sounds like a robot, but what can you do).
