he game's visuals, while not on par with recent AAA titles, are still impressive with detailed characters, realistic animations, and engaging environments.

Sound design is done perfectly too.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
If I'm not mistaken that achievement/challenge requires you to play both Aiden and Jodie on hard mode (the "I play video games often" setting and sometimes the camera angles and POV the game gives you makes certain parts of the game exhausting - not in a "challenging cos it's hard" way in a "wow this is beyond annoying and broken/not done the right way" way (in this mode you don't have the arrows telling you where to swing and it can be VERY frustrating cos sometimes the place you’re supposed to go/steer makes no sense with what you’re shown so the arrows in the easy mode are your saving grace)

Because I did look like a madman each time I needed to shake my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Steam Deck just to pour salt onto an in-game frying pan or whatever.
