Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
120 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
game mechanics and story are a good fit for each other. the football-kicking provides a gameplay excuse to move the player around, while the vast amount of things to see and do in each section gives the impression of moving around a living world despite the constraints of game design
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
61 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Masterful sound design and dialogue quickly elevates the interpretive visuals into one of the most "alive" worlds I've ever seen in a game, not in how "fleshed out" it feels nor how thoroughly "developed" for gameplay it is, but in how indescribably human it feels.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals, soundtrack, writing, unique ideas, FIFA clone casually inserted into the game and themes that continue throughout the entire experience in small yet meaningful ways - is very special.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
impressive audio design - ambient sounds, incidental conversations between NPCs, and a suitable soundtrack
