Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
69 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
Imaginably, it speaks to an older audience that's more familiar with the medium, but even still, much of the art is better than you might expect from much of the preview material, and the well-crafted atmosphere enhances the simple story being told.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
44 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
The balancing is top-notch: You can clearly see the math made to balance out weapons, armor, additional buffs with the next enemy's hp and damage.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
21 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
-The sounds and graphics are both very nice; nothing feels out of place and the soundtrack and sound effects are both used well to complement the situation
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
18 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design is the only positive, with tracks that can be soothing or eerie, unfortunately they aren't matched by the environments and game design and the music comes off as being discordant with the rest of the atmosphere of the game.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
9 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
It's got all of those inventory puzzles and problem solving you'd expect from a point and click, albeit scaled down and broken up pretty well by those other elements.
