Why players love itThings to know
27% of themes are praise46% are divided27% are caveats
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
• Some nice lighting which is important in a game like this with dark rooms and hallways to explore and thus illuminate.
51 of 208 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
A game with a good story, characters and voice acting / atmosphere in parts and places but loses some at that by the end while being heavily let down by serious performance issues and a lack of polish throughout!
42 of 208 sampled reviews raised it
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
• A minor, but the DPad doesn't operate in the menus for controller users (part-time console peasant) like myself with the A button saving settings as oppose to changing them which is again, a minor, but odd.
