Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
I would argue it's more of a platformer than puzzle game but it’s strong atmosphere, AAA voice acting and decent story made it a trip worth taking.
30 of 94 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I am always pleased to see the Unity 5 Engine being stretched to its limits by ambitious developers, but the textures and assets used in The Crow’s Eye felt both overused and lacking in sufficient details.
24 of 94 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay is much better and consistently the experience's major muscle.
13 of 94 sampled reviews raised it
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
I was playing at max settings and was maintaining only 70 FPS, which is very acceptable, but surprising for the limited graphic detail in the game.
5 of 94 sampled reviews raised it
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
A crafting system is implemented and thus you may combine various inventory items into, bandages, lockpicks, maps or a powerful electromagnet which will prove crucial to late game puzzle sections.
