Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
That said though, I've never played a game which has managed to give me such consistent and immense satisfaction; and not just from my accomplishments, but also from how well RefRain communicates with the player and how its awesome music, visuals, mechanics, sound effects, and its technical performance come together with such grace, beauty and harmony.

Since they unlocks depends on how well you play, there is a good replayability here, not just as a scoring.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I'm not sure I've ever played a game which so cleverly introduces its characters to the player as it allows the player to get to know each character much in the same way as how you're able to gain a little more insight into someone when using their PC by observing their desktop icons and wallpaper.

I have played with simple gamepad, such as xbox controller, however I have not yet tried with others so I cannot confirm anything else.
