+Graphics: The way this game was graphically designed is breathtaking, The lighting is great in this game, from when you're in small confined spaces, your light properly shines, reflecting off of walls and other surfaces really well, while massive caverns almost (and sometimes literally!) seem to supress the light your tiny lantern makes.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
+Atmosphere: Every new area you go through is a varied landscape posing new challenges and visual aspects with an accompanying soundtrack that work very well to set the tone the designers were going for.

7/10 Character Design - I find the faceless characters in this game kind of the best feature in the overall character design of Ashen.
