Lindsey isn't all bad though, his characterization is consistent and the narrative account is well researched.

Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I'd also like to give a shout out to the soundtrack, which really manages to sell the vivid image of a mind at war with itself, barely chugging along under the weight of its sharp inadequacies.
