38 of 256 sampled reviews raised it
Was never too challenging, which made the game very therapeutic in a world where most developers are attempting to crush a player's spirit through high difficulty ceilings.

Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
19 of 256 sampled reviews raised it
The sound effects were good, music helped set the atmosphere but some of the voice acting (particularly Effie’s) was a tad grating.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
10 of 256 sampled reviews raised it
I think this style of game is perfectly suited for a controller, and for most of the game I had no issues with it.
