Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Ultimately, although a competitive game is usually a lot more fun when you are winning, you can't play a game that you are only going to have fun when you are winning otherwise if you end up playing the game for 10000 hours like me, you will only enjoy 5000 hours of gameplay with a 50% winrate.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The atmosphere, the graphics, the dialogue, literally everything is so eerie, the dreams are genuinely creepy.
