Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Story - interesting, though some questions remained unanswered.
251 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The story itself is well written, the voice acting solid and with a cast of seven protagonists to play there’s variety in each chapter that you will experience some extreme swings in how much you enjoy it.

Graphics - SOOO good.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I just ultimately think the story itself wasn't that good - but for 10 dollars and 40 hours of gameplay, it's pretty worth it.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
The menu allows you to check your friendship/romance levels with specific characters, and it also shows what path you're on in the save.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
Despite the torture I had from playing FFXV in the normal mode (hard) I thought I should test this game and get all achievements without any guide or the branches menu I created my own logical combos of characters which are (lemme count) 60 combinations against 4 versions of endings of Hannah.
