Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
67 of 146 sampled reviews raised it
While not technically advanced, the visuals serve the narrative well, using lighting, color, and sparse environmental detail to establish a moody, oppressive atmosphere.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
55 of 146 sampled reviews raised it
The addition of voice acting in key scenes adds another layer of immersion, giving the characters more presence and emotional weight—though the quality of the performances can vary, the effort is commendable and elevates key dramatic moments.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
18 of 146 sampled reviews raised it
I really like the plot and how the gameplay is structured, even though the puzzles were pretty hard to figure out sometimes (they are not intuitive at all, most of the time).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 146 sampled reviews raised it
The pixel Graphics like the two previous games are very good, it has good detail with a lot to see and the cutscene art continues to be very good.
