I am not very experienced with reviewing but I do recommend people who like turn based RPGs that have a good amount of difficulty and an intriguing main story.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The game's soundtrack only adds to the atmosphere, as it has some of the most creepy tracks you might ever hear in a game, along with some of the most emotional songs for sad parts of the game, and even relaxing songs for some of the lighter parts of the game.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Where to begin with this game, it has a lot of faults for sure and I wouldn't call the graphics gorgeous but the characteization of all the characters and the world you inhabit are super real to life.
