Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
156 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Not only was it fun to play and explore, but the story is very interesting and the puzzles are very well made with a moderate difficulty.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
84 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I look at it as a bit of an investment, saying "have some money, and make some fun VR stuff!" But for the frugal buyer, It's probably best to wait for a sale, as the fact that you get 70-90 minutes of (very good) gameplay/story for $20 is deterring to say the least.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
80 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are amazing and the voice acting is solid and fits the characters.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Another main plus point is the inventory system, I think it sets the benchmark for every other future VR game.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
the sounds and atmosphere are top notch and the voice acting, WOW, is better than that!
