Gameplay

78 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
However, this follow-up title, Platform 8, did require a little time for me to digest, mostly because of how vastly different the gameplay is formatted from almost anything else that I've played before.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Once you've done so, another game play mode is unlocked that features a more detailed ending, one that I thought was cleverly conceived and even managed to seamlessly weave a simple narrative that connects itself to The Exit 8 .
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics and sound design are REALLY good here, with some visual effects having a dream-like quality that adds to the surreal atmosphere of the game.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There are also fun new strategies to some anomalies and once again the developer nailed the atmosphere and sound design.
