Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
92 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Eidolon is first and foremost a story-driven exploration game, and the survival aspects of it take a backseat to its rich emergent narrative.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
64 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I like the visuals, even if the use of fog was over used (likely because there is no shading in the game so a light source + fog was used to give the illusion of depth).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You'll love it if you enjoy a variety of interesting storylines, lore and exploration over a massive world that you can relax in, with a beautiful soundtrack to boot, or you'll hate it as one of those "Walking simulators" with not much to do and survival elements that are weak, if I'm being honest.
