Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
201 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The games have a psychological literacy and narrative subtlety that put most other horror games to shame, and that is still the case today.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
76 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics seem to range only between potato mode for lower hardware and a beautiful and well designed experience if you have fairly modern hardware.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
69 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It really has the psychological depth, attention to detail, fantastic soundtrack and audio design that made the series great (anyone remember how SH2 had a ton of different audio for the character's footsteps? Even that is here too).
