Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
230 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Where "Chains of Satinav" has charm, a smooth-flowing story, and characters that are fleshed out and relateable, "Memoria" feels bloated and tedious.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
66 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Soundtrack is perhaps not as rich, there is much less music in this game, but on the other hand voice acting is much, MUCH better.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Overall a great game that offers some replayability with some minor choices here and there.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A couple are a little out there but for the most part they're good puzzles without being too easy.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
One thing I didn't mention in my review regarding Chains of Satinav is that I like how all characters are believable and that the main hero is not merely a "placeholder" or a "mimic" put there so you can appreciate everything and everyone around him.
