A fortunate side-effect, though, is that it gives you time to really delve into the story.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For instance I enjoyed Her, Daemon 9, Jessika and others which all included going over logs as part of the main game mechanic but at the same time these were video logs rather than written.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Analogue's æsthetic is clean and refined in a way which puts to shame other visual novels, especially where the user interface is concerned.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Isaac Schankler's beautiful soundtrack can be both catchy and poignant, and I've listened to it outside of the game countless times.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The world building is very interesting, all the while keeping the actual graphics to a minimum.
