The visuals are near photorealistic at times, although having spent a few days in Northern Wales I think the game sells the setting a little short by only being set in one small hotel and the grounds of.

The soundtrack is also gorgeous, and the vocal performance given by Tia Kalmaru (No I don't know who that is either) is simply stunning.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This was a welcome addition and although I only used it a few times (playing on recommended normal difficulty), I imagine this would be an exceptional help in higher difficulties.
