Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
There is no nuance to be found anywhere, no clever writing, no interesting characters, Kultusministerium requires You to do errands so You earn reputation that is locking progression, and decide whether You help either red or blue guys to take control of respective towns.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The contrasting visual works beautifully with the context of the story, balancing the dark nature of the story and the calming and breathtaking long trips in between, and also it did a fine job to cover its otherwise average at best textures and models.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Sound-wise it is also very good, the soundtrack depending on the continent is different and also adds something to the aforementioned atmosphere.
