Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
133 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I enjoyed the first chapter (demo chapter) and the ending chapter, as they had more dynamic gameplay, more tones and surprise factors, and spent a bit more time building the antagonists.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
117 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game is on level with cyberpunk day one of release on terms of how buggy and unstable it is which is a massive shame as the game itself is amazing dripping with atmosphere and care for its world and characters along with really good game mechanics.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
105 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op fits naturally into the experience, making tense moments more enjoyable when playing with someone, although solo still works.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
64 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The lighting was the biggest standout for me, helping with the constant tension and sense of unease.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It doesn’t rely on jump scares - most of the tension comes from the environments, the sound design and the constant feeling of being unsafe.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its world design, enemy variety, and satisfying combat elevate it beyond just being atmospheric, even if its storytelling chooses mystery over answers.
