It's beautifully and imaginatively crafted in Unreal Engine, and the exploration-based gameplay will ensure that you discover every little nook and cranny of it.

The graphics and environment are good, and the voice acting is decent.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
29 of 127 sampled reviews raised it
Reasonably good voice acting, although the narrator is much better in his Wry Jeff Goldblum Commentary Mode than in his Heartfelt Big Dramatic Moment mode (those are also the ones which have the worst and most overwrought script).
