Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
226 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The characters, the world-building, the weaving of real historical fact and moral philosophy 101 so seamlessly with the actual game mechanics.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
122 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Exploration is a huge part of the experience too: the game doesn't hold your hand, yet it gives you enough information to know when certain questions can be asked to NPCs later, which is a godsend for overthinkers and completionists.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics look great in terms of scenery and environments, but the animations felt artificial.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting is decent here and the story is good IMO.
