Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The stealth mechanics are great, using light and sound effectively (although I found the sound meter to be mostly obsolete, you can usually tell how much sound you're making well).
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
All of the endings are fun to get, and how they interop with the story is fun.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game's PSX/retro visuals are decent, they get the job done and leave a lot of room for interpretation, adding to the horror of it all.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
All this makes him feel very genuine, like it's not an artificial difficulty, or a scripted one.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design is also amazing, the sounds of the killer, fumbling over physics props that make noise and give away your location, Granny, etc.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
4 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Movement and interaction feel awkward enough that using a controller is actually the better option, which is kind of embarrassing for a PC game.
