It's a lovely, if predictable story, and it's fun to run around Ava and explore.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
125 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The exploration was fun, the graphics were very nice though I did have weird performance issues with a 3080 on windows.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You can limit combat to extreamly easy and combine that with story mode to make it very chill.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The performance on PC is great and the game also supports Unreal Engine 5 new Lumen technology, which adds realistic lighting and reflections, but also has a big impact on the frame rate.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It also packs a lot more narrative punch than I was originally expecting, given its cuddly critters and relaxing, flute-heavy soundtrack.
