Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I'd say it is totally worth it, even for the actual asking price - there is so much choice already, so many options to shape the narrative in a way you like, and I imagine the replayability potential will only increase, once Act 3 will be added.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
* the character art is a little bit uncanny valley. not quite my aesthetics, but imo the game is so good, that the graphics do not matter that much.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
Core mechanics are interesting and I'm sure they have a bigger meaning when you play it on hard difficulty and not on easy like me who just wanted to enjoy the story :D.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
* the voice acting is used sparingly (for certain scenes and conversations), but always works well when it's brought out, and the orchestral music nicely underpins the various situations and keeps the tension arc high in both verbal and physical battles.
