Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Still I was compelled to get decent enough to make the trip a few times, learn the mechanics and found myself caught up in a few late night binges with the game over the course of a month that swiftly led to over 10 hours of gameplay.
65 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
~Sound: Music is fine and so is the voice acting, but none of it is stellar.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The fact that the game recommends a 5th gen i7 and a GTX 600 series GPU baffles me, given that the 3D graphics are pretty simple.
