114 of 262 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
You will have to make desisions, save or sacrifice people, gain their trust or angry them, there's options for replayability, you'll definitely need 5-6 hours to explore every branch, every outcome.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Interactive fiction with reasonable character actions, world and word choice reactions, good (and judicious) use of sound effects and graphics, multiple paths and endings that are actually different from one another in more than purely cosmetic ways, and a very satisfying reward for actually doing things that would realistically (if that can be applied to a game with tech magic) improve various situations.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
Oh, plus perfectly logical changes in interface type in specific situations, and a meta puzzle for a boost that makes some of the achievements easier.
