Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
237 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Edith Finch, again in contrast to both, just has a sincere and heartfelt story to tell you and doesn't try to pull a 18th-century-ethics-debate on you.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
123 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game isn’t open world, but each area is somewhat spacious, organically designed and truly feels alien, while there are often multiple paths leading to the same exit.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
115 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
`The graphics are phenomenal, mostly in terms of direction rather than raw asset quality or magnificent use of techniques.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
76 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting is good with a couple of weird deliveries, but it's competent, probably held back more by the writing which I'll come back to.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a refreshing change of pace from games that are always trying to overwhelm you with combat.
