As an added bonus to the great gameplay, the atmosphere and visuals are fantastic all the way through.

The game is pretty challenging for me as I have spent 50 hours and haven't beaten the main campaign just yet although I've come close.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The controls felt strange and unintuitive, and I had written it off as something I really liked the atmosphere and art style of, but couldn't fully interface with the gameplay.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
there is a downside to this game, and it is that one or two segments are unintuitive and really should have a note or something to help a new player. other than that, an awesome game and nearly flawless. atmosphere, enemy design, level design, soundtrack, and most importantly movement and climbing mechanics are perfect. very high replayability, almost no bugs (especially for an early access game), and just a lot of fun to play. really looking forward to the game being finished and to whatever other content they add. if it looks intriguing at all to you, absolutely play it
