Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I had intense fun for the first 7 hours bouncing from memory to memory, slowly uncovering the story.
167 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The story is good, but nothing special (though the non-linear way in which it is told makes up for that) the graphics are stunning and the objective is fun and unique.
93 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
But, credit where credit is due; when both the environment and voice acting truly came together, it made way for very interesting cases, although I still feel like actual animations would have driven the point home better.
