Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
With engaging story (Looking at you, Skyrim), Interesting characters and beautiful world, I was hooked.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Annoyingly, Reckoning is off the store for purchase now that Re-Reckoning is out - however this remaster constitutes mostly visual, and a few gameplay changes, so the experience will likely be only marginally better than this version.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Graphics are good, clean, crisp, with good animations for the time.
