Why players love itThings to know
33% of themes are praise25% are divided42% are complaints
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
181 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The type of fear it induces is unique, the graphics are quite smooth, and so is movement and combat mechanics.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
64 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is neat but there is a lot of unnecessary tail chasing, running around doing the same thing over and over.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Base mechanics aside, the visuals do a convincing job of conveying a industrial Mars indoor environment (think Dead Space), but are repetitive, as are the enemy types and loot objects - but this doesn't really harm the atmosphere of the game.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I really want to recommend this game - it has nice graphics, interesting concept, good soundtrack and decent combat.
