Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
228 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While Tacoma doesn’t raise the bar in any way, it's a solid story that you should pick up if you enjoy walking adventure sims.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
120 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay mechanic is original, although I wouldn't consider it very "gamy".
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I remember the characters by their names and faces, not their personalities and motivations, which is a shame, because they’re brought to life by some believable voice acting that brings them closer to the player.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay and visuals are decent but It has very janky movement and most of the time a blurry pov when looking around.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Really interesting game with great world building and especially impressive character writing, considering how short the game is overall I felt like I'd learned a lot about each character by the end.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Interacting with the ship or your own AR HUD usually happens through the use of sign language, which on one hand makes a lot of sense as a way to control these kind of systems, and also just looks amazing.
