Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics have that old-school crust but in a beautifully intentional and designed manner that elevates it from a retraux retread to a love letter, the sounds capture the period perfectly and the soundtrack - both the in-game musicians' music and the actual game score - ranges from adorably terrible to some genuinely excellent ambient and electronica.
