What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Story of the game is great and is brilliantly executed, creating many plots, black holes, situations and dialogs that at first appears to be pointless or simply insane, just to finally be small part of bigger picture, that is giving them sence and makes them suddenly extremely important in process of understanding plot.
Despite the art style being influenced from all over the place it still felt like a cohesive whole.
Audio in this game is outstanding overall: music, ambient sounds, voice acting, sound effects, all is done perfectly.All dialogue, which can be read, is spoken as well.
That's when we come to great thing about Sanitarium, that is really uncommon in adventure games - replayability.

Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
