Story

37 of 92 sampled reviews raised it
Its a good story, the heartbroken poetic artistic drunk captain has an awesome accent.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
13 of 92 sampled reviews raised it
Though it has some okay graphics, good sound, good horror music, good voice acting, adequate controls and is a fun idea (a horror game on a spaceship seems like an intrinsically good idea to me and it worked well in System Shock 2), Phantaruk quickly becomes a frustrating experience mired in a slew of bad game design choices.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
11 of 92 sampled reviews raised it
-The voice acting is decent from what I heard, clean audio and good inflection like the actor actually cared about the character.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
6 of 92 sampled reviews raised it
The game excels in graphics, level design, and gameplay, striking a perfect balance between challenge and accessibility—not too hard, not too easy.
