Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
21 of 111 sampled reviews raised it
It's a hard one, the artwork, voice acting and story are all top-notch, the work has gone into this game and it has a fair price tag.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
8 of 111 sampled reviews raised it
The virtual reality mechanics make these interactions particularly amusing because physically aiming and firing weapons adds another layer of absurdity to activities that would normally require completely different tools.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 111 sampled reviews raised it
Sound design and voice acting are among the stronger elements of the presentation.
