Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
121 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This, the open map design, subtle mechanics like gun jamming / manual reload / pumping your shotgun, and the retro-inspired but very pretty graphics, all come together to make a super immersive experience.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
100 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As for the positives, I would say that the the actual gunplay is quite good.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
67 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I look forward to more from this dev, and there's still room for improvements in their future games, for instance I'd love to see a bit more expansion on the story and for the inventory management to have a little more impact to increase the feeling of tension even further.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
To put simply, if you like inventory management, I think this game does it well.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Atmosphere of the game is excellent - a subdued soundtrack compliments the games soundscape and level design, which evokes a good sense of dread throughout, with some particularly excellent areas.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I did enjoy the art style, however it feels like a blueprint that's missing anything to make levels look interesting.
