Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It's a living, breathing nightmare island where every decision feels weighty, every shadow hides something that wants to eat you, and the gameplay loop is so addictive I literally lost track of time until my coffee went cold.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
I love the HUD, I think it looks nice, and it works well, aside from 1 thing.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The sound design is chef's kiss: distant roars echoing through the rain, the low hum of mysterious machinery, and the unsettling skitter of critters in the underbrush.

And the fact that one day it’ll have optimized multiplayer really appeals to me as well.
