Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
139 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I see a lot of people in the Steam reviews for this game who will agree with the above, but praise the game anyway for its combat.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
135 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is good, it has enough depth to make me want to keep going, to see where it leads.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
122 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
4 Races to choose from, great customization for character appearance (cosmetics only), Destinies (aka/Classes) are slightly limited, but you can choose to mix 1, 2 or all 3 Destinies together by applying Lvl Up points to the respective skill trees.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are absolutely charming; and the gameworld is massive, variable, and captivating.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is really good and the world feels alive (kind of).
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The character design, gear models, and town / dungeon architecture, while goofy (what fantasy world isn't slightly goofy?) is very appealing and stylistically similar to the cartoon-y nature of World of Warcraft.
