Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
139 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I like the 'modifiers' which allow you to personally tweak your gameplay experience further, rather than just Easy/Normal/Hard.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
136 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game also makes very smart use of those weapons, offering different situations and chances to take advantage of each one of them.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
87 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story isn't forced, leaves enough up to the imagination and allows for deeper thoughts.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I played on ultra graphics settings, which after some configuration ran really smoothly on 144fps.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Difficulty can be entirely mandated by the player and it never feels like the game is unbalanced.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The Soundtrack for this game - which mind you, together with 90% of the rest of the game's development - was entirely made by just one person. is absolutely fitting for this atmospheric experience.
