Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The 'gameplay' in Mountain is virtually non-existent, since the act of playing Mountain is leaving in on in the background until you hear a sound and can view whatever new content pops up.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
While it may not satisfy those looking for action or narrative, it offers a peaceful digital sanctuary that encourages mindfulness and introspection.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Well it's pretty relaxing, the visuals are amazingly surreal and serene.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
In this game you are a spinning mountain floating in a cloud of cosmic nothingness to atmospheric sound effects.
