Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
38 of 88 sampled reviews raised it
Promising a dark, affecting story, depth-charging exploration and high-octane action, I can honestly say Depths of Sanity delivers on all counts.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

The experience of DoS so far is what I would call a slow burn: Exploration and combat are methodically-paced compared to many indie action games, giving you time to reflect on the lore entries you find and Abe's discussions with his ship's computer, Emma.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
21 of 88 sampled reviews raised it
It's not quite bullet hell but both travel and combat can be fast n' frenetic.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

The presentation is wrapped up by an excellent chip soundtrack with several memorable tunes that will stick with you long after you're done playing.
