Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I really wanted to like this game because of its queer, pronoun-respecting and anti-capitalist story.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I can tell that a lot of work went into the game, and there is more than just the length of a game that determines it's selling price. 7 1/2 hours is honestly pretty great for a game like this - it leaves room for replayability and attempts to keep the story at a nice length without being too repetitive.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Although I really enjoyed the gender inclusivity and the aesthetic aspects of this game (I like this game's art style, UI design, and really appreciate that the developers showed their concept art, sketches, WIPs, etc. to us as rewards for finding collectibles — I find that to be very enjoyable, and it's a pity that they didn't make more of them available), I did not enjoy the gameplay, the narrative, or the buggy achievements.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
This, combined with an atmospheric soundtrack filled with moody synths and ambient sounds, enhances the immersive experience, drawing players deeper into the oppressive yet captivating world of Farca.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
Despite having a different interface from the usual operating system, the simplistic interface makes it easy to use - important features are gathered in one place not to overwhelm you with the amount of information.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
- Very interesting mechanic with the 2 split screen: one IRL and one computer screen.
