Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Instead, each ending feels like a logical conclusion to the accumulated choices made over years of play.
81 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Aside from missing one of the elements that made the game a little easier for newcoming players this game holds up well in my eyes and is a lot of fun for a good few hours with high replayability with its total of over 50 different endings (I think).

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics are great in both versions, I suppose it's up to preference, but without any doubt the unofficial DOS translation is better.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Some of the downsides I don't like that will hopefully find a fix soon are minor bugs such as the ending letter just sort of getting skipped if you prefer to play with voice acting turned off.
