Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
79 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The lighting and effects make the distant view look photo realistic while nearby grass looks like it's from a PS2 game.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
74 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
-Good voice acting (not much spoken dialogue in the game - mostly voice recordings and some characters you meet)
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
-Really great sound design and music for the good horror atmosphere (with the exception of the music used to build tension that goes on too long, sometimes repeats if finished and doesn't match the scripting/pacing of the area it's used in)
