Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
15 of 40 sampled reviews raised it
Story wise, there isn't necessarily a ton of content there, however, the atmosphere the minor amount of story builds up is perfect for what the game offers.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 40 sampled reviews raised it
The use of 3D lighting within what seems like a regular 2D sidescroller really brings something fresh and eye catching to the genre.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 40 sampled reviews raised it
The use of light as an effect and as a mechanic is perfectly crafted, as is the soundtrack which is equally beautiful and eerie.
