Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
95 of 269 sampled reviews raised it
It's story is written well enough to have it come out to you at points and ask you if what you are doing is right and warns you that it's a dangerous path that lies ahead if you continue down it.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
74 of 269 sampled reviews raised it
I like the premise and gameplay of this game, but so far - after 16 hours - the story advancement has been miniscule.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 269 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is neat (was kind of getting tired of Indy game meaning pixelart)
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
11 of 269 sampled reviews raised it
These shifting challenges do a reasonably good job of building on each other, with each clearance level you go through iterating on previous challenges with an extra layer of complexity, and this organic growth of difficulty is largely well-executed.
