Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
It's very unintuitive to play, story and objectives are majorly conveyed through text boxes and most of the time I wasn't aware of where to go next or which key could fit which door.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Maybe it was just the fact I'd been crushed into the subway for ages before, but the gloom of the industrial dystopia brings a lovely frisson of freedom and exposure - the rain is unending (and excellent), the lighting is neon and aircraft and trains can be heard whooshing past.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The levels are varied, the graphics are appealing, the gameplay is comforting & engaging, most bosses were fun & creative, using the flare gun was awesome and OP near the end, the notes were good, you can save without needing an item, the little voice acting I heard was suitable and welcome, the achievements were fun and I was just very interested to see how all of this would end.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The sound design is often atmospheric and effective, and music enhances specific moments - but there's some very disconcerting sounds for some enemies (the mannequins in particular).
7 of 47 sampled reviews raised it
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
Especially watch out if you're using a controller to play, as some puzzle inputs will only work for the D-pad and not the analogue stick, and one safe-opening puzzle is impossible to complete with a controller (as far as I could tell).

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
Weird but interesting story, and some really great puzzles that were never too hard but rarely too easy either.
