Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
143 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Some of them get a bit bland and same-y and I initially had some trouble telling a couple of them apart, but they make the story a lot more engaging and enjoyable.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
138 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A lot of the perks you can get while leveling up are also really helpful and impact your gameplay a LOT.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
94 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Equally, if you want to be manically stressed, the difficulty level "grim" might be for you.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I bought the soundtrack DLC after I finished the game, partially to support the devs and partially just because it's a nice soundtrack.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
However, I think the art style is a boon to this game as its fittingly simplistic, although I still think the animation is a bit too stiff I think considering the size of the team and choices available this makes sense and is fully acceptable.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I love the character design, and the daily dialogue is thoughtful and varied.
