Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The game is running on UE4 and despite of being made on an Indie budget, the visuals are stunning - partly photorealistic.

The voice acting is mostly superb.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
I played the game with the Italian voice acting (it’s really, really good) and English subtitles and I think it’s the best way to do it, but English voice acting is available as well (can’t say anything about its quality though).

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
You, obviously, can use different layouts or a controller if you please, and you can play the game in a multitude of languages—Italian being both the innate choice and possibly the best one.
