Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The puzzles are hard enough to be entertaining and not too hard to be annoying, the replayability is infinite with a lore reason which is great.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Visually, OneShot is charming in its minimalism, and the soundtrack perfectly complements the mood—soft, melancholic, and occasionally hopeful.

12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it

8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The first thing I want to say is that I absolutely love the main character, Niko.
