Difficulty

12 of 52 sampled reviews raised it
Fortunately, the alternate objectives, endings, changing encounters, difficulty options, and unpredictable antagonist behavior give the experience reasons to revisit areas beyond simply replaying the same sequence.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
9 of 52 sampled reviews raised it
Overall, Shards Of Solitude is an interesting survival horror experience that understands the value of making its antagonist an active part of the gameplay rather than simply an obstacle to avoid.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 52 sampled reviews raised it
All in all, this is an overall well thought out game that looks and plays fantastically, with an AI that, while easy to avoid and escape (preparing to eat words upon starting higher difficulties), has a nice variety of behaviours and is backed by some really good voice acting.
