Why players love itThings to know
64% of themes are praise9% are divided27% are complaints
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
168 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Other reviews claim the story can become more clear in repeat playthroughs, but I have no desire to go through this again when the first time wasn't that fun aside from good combat and pretty levels, and even those fell completely apart by the end of the game.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
147 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The most I will say is that I did enjoy the story overall and it was actually a rather personal story in some places (especially after looking into the people who made the game and their inspirations).
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
136 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And on top of that, the gameplay itself flows quite smoothly and the polish shows in how the controls handle.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
88 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is something you'll only find in this game, and some of the cutscenes are borderline abstract, only understandable after you get context for them, which is quite ingenious.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
62 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For those who feel elation when they want to overcome a david v Goliath challenge, go crank up the difficulty and enjoy that masochistic ride.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack may not be everyone's cup of tea with its grim tone but I found it to be very suited to the game's atmosphere.
