Story

41 of 97 sampled reviews raised it
Each puzzle, each scene, is a self-contained moment of expression, and when the credits roll, the story concludes with the kind of graceful finality that mirrors the closing of a myth.
Graphics

38 of 97 sampled reviews raised it
The most striking aspect of Amphora is its art style, which instantly sets it apart from most puzzle games.
Gameplay

31 of 97 sampled reviews raised it
Although one could argue that the mix of story and gameplay alone keeps the game interesting on its own.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 97 sampled reviews raised it
The absence of spoken dialogue or explicit sound effects allows the music to carry the emotional weight of the experience, blending seamlessly with the visuals to form a cohesive, dreamlike rhythm.
