I've got to give the creative director credit here, I love when background lore can explain the occurrence of life, death, and rebirth within a game, this simple merging of storytelling with gameplay structure really brings everything together.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Running this with a gtx 1070 was smooth and crisp with maxxed out graphics, floating steadily around 120 fps (I wasnt using unlimited fps in the settings, not sure how high it would have been then).
