Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I never played the games that I think inspired this, but I can tell it's a throwback to that era not just from the graphics but the general vibe of the gameplay, which I do think is a win.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The gameplay is fun (I could describe it as a simplified Metal Gear Solid V) and the world is beautiful, filled with breathtakingly huge, ancient structures and vast empty deserts (though you never spend too long traversing them), with the PS-esque graphics only adding more charm to it.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The sky box is the most intriguing and interesting aspect of this small world, leaving me with questions about the in-game universe and narrative.

I love the small size of the game, and I can confirm it plays spectacularly on the Steam Deck.
