Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
I love non-violent games, serene post-apocalyptic settings (I've been planning in my head my next game for the last few years and it shares just that, although I probably will never get to do it), the soundtrack is quite beautiful, the main character model is good (her outfit reminded me a bit of Nadia, for anime fans), but the rest is so basic...

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
I tried playing both with my keyboard and mouse and my controller, and while I found the controller to be the best option it still didn't take away from just how awkward these controls are.
