Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
89 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
However, for a puzzle game this is really well done and I finished the main story on hard mode in about 25 hours of gameplay.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
81 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
So glad I did - the story is also engaging - character's are likeable in a twisted humorous macabre way - Hector is one sick psycho puppy but doe's make you laugh and is oddly likeable.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game's incredibly well made, can be difficult (especially the epilogue DLC's having a difficulty cliff upwards) and if the 14 missions and 3 DLC epilogue isn't enough you have the challenges giving you actually very well thought alternatives of some scenarios.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I liked Desperados 3 more than Shadow Tactics and it has nicer graphics.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting is top-notch, the soundtrack sets the perfect western mood, and the story, while not groundbreaking, is delivered with style and a welcome dose of dark humour.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The five playable characters complement each other well and the missions' level design is immaculate, offering countless different solutions to the same problem.
