Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
68 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay is great, you basically have to take pictures using a cellphone or a camera to takedown ghosts but that's not just it, you actually have to explore the world around you to find items, documents, photos, and take pictures to gather all the intel toguether to solve puzzles and progress throughout the game.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The music is still ambient and atmospheric with its' own cultural twang (A good thing) but there is no actual "voice acting" or actual dialogue until you face off against certain bosses.
