What players think
The recurring themes across 107 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The story is where the game shines, and the tale is told very well with a nice build up and some tense moments.
- good graphics
This means there is some voice acting present and this ranges from good to mediocre.
The core gameplay of Once Alive is minimalist and deliberately slow-paced.
