Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 74 sampled reviews raised it
There are well-timed musical stingers, a phenomenal metal soundtrack which serves to highlight transitions into boss fights and several other key areas and persists through those fights.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
10 of 74 sampled reviews raised it
Checks all the boxes - fun puzzles, interesting exploration, solid atmosphere, tricky zombie combat, limited inventory, secrets, etc.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
9 of 74 sampled reviews raised it
The melee stun weapon I think is also a nice addition to the player's arsenal since it helps in a pinch if you're low on ammunition.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
8 of 74 sampled reviews raised it
I personally am of the mind that this small team was able to put out a fun working game that is not riddled with bugs, runs extremely well, and has an interesting setting and story - which is more than enough and more than what can be said of many games I've played in recent years.
