Story

The tl;dr: Fantastic story, excellent mechanics, and I maintain that this little gem does survival horror better than the OGs.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

The interplay between the blinding radiance of torches and the absolute, crushing darkness of the rat swarms is not just a gameplay loop; it’s a masterclass in composition.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

It runs well on Crossover/Proton; there's some weird dithering artifacts on certain textures but it's not jarring, and on an M4 Pro I'm able to run on ultra at 1080p, so I really can't complain.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Really enjoyed the soundtrack in this one, it's like everything I got from Hellblade, but better
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a great example of how beautiful graphics and good optimization can exist together.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Music & Sound: The start of the game has a brief music riff playing on the main menu, great to bring people in.
