Finally, coming from the creator of TWA (which had an excellent story) I was a little disappointed with this.

It has many flaws (most notably a disappointing story), but the core gameplay is fun.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Visuals are great, again, the MGS VR inspiration is very apparent, but the “volumetric” approach to how the maps look is striking, To put it simply, I really like it.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack has a pleasant ambient quality to it and amps up whenever you're seen.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It doesn't feel right to get seen in a stealth game, but at least the game still offers some sort of challenge from its difficulty.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
However, I like the graphics, the spoken dialogue, the music, the virtual atmosphere, and the gameplay & controls were designed well (if you're using a gamepad, at least; haven't tried with keyboard controls).
