Be ready for a wild cross-country Indiana featuring cool puzzles left by a lost civilization, abundant combat, and branching conversations.
Gameplay

146 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It feels unique and quite dark (Edit on that, I just finished the game after 80h. The story is pretty good. I just wish the writing was better. Definitely surprised me a few times.) The gameplay is also pretty fun, harsh at times, but very rewarding.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
99 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is interesting and rather concise, I didn't feel like I had to read a lot of text for no reason.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
91 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are neat and pleasant, there are also quite a few interesting tiny game systems, like stepping on roaches to refill spirit and uncovering the map fog, etc.
