outside of performance issues, the game is scary and the story is interesting.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay is very simple and straight forward and the game will give you a crash course tutorial without ruining the experience, as with the graphics, i did not encounter any form of bugs or glitches in general, the game played smoothly on ultra settings at 60fps on release date, which to me is very impressive considering how many games launch now days with so many broken elements.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The lighting, limited visibility, and uncanny sound effects contribute to a feeling of isolation that never lets up.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There is no eerie soundtrack or anything reminiscent of larger budget horrors, however it works well with what it has.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Items needed for location were really well designed and did not cause much difficulty working out the clues, with the levels of vagueness being perfect.
