There's also an interesting story with good VOs and an amazing soundtrack.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
152 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Doesn't appear to be much replayability, but it's definitely got some good mechanics that are pretty unique, and it's well crafted for what it is.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
71 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And while the graphics feel like those of an age past, I still find them very pleasing to the eye and quite beautiful at moments.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
That being said, the story and the world/setting are engaging, and the voice acting well executed.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Small set-pieces on rails (literally) and basic combat provide a complementary blend, shaking things up a bit and injecting more adrenaline and tension at certain moments, without disrupting the relaxing tranquility of the experience.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game avoids overly frustrating by providing subtle hints and a well-tuned difficulty curve, allowing players to enjoy the challenge without feeling overwhelmed.
