Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
like this is going to be one of my favorite videogames of all time, it has impressive direction of narrative, but like videogame narrative, not the stuff modern devs from AAA wants to impose with overly long cutscenes that do more harm than to tell the story via mechanics

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics are incredible despite the technical limitations, and the soundtrack is amazing.
