Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
12 of 53 sampled reviews raised it
Being warned not to wander from the established route adds an effective layer of uneasiness because the environment simultaneously encourages curiosity and makes exploration feel dangerous.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
9 of 53 sampled reviews raised it
There was some well done foreshadowing and I enjoyed the way the narrative was designed and presented throughout.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
4 of 53 sampled reviews raised it
Sender includes an original soundtrack built around its haunting atmosphere, and audio becomes especially effective during extended periods of travel when there is little else competing for the player's attention.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
3 of 53 sampled reviews raised it
Visually, Sender adopts 1990s-inspired 3D graphics while incorporating enough modern presentation to prevent the aesthetic from feeling like a simple imitation of an older game.
