Story

163 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a great story with a fantastic lore unlocking system that gives you a very well-written beginning to end, You start the game being dropped into the middle of nowhere with a very obtuse task to follow to understanding the entire history of the land the game takes place in (most lore is in text form and requires you to discover objects that slowly unlock the greater story at play).
