Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
106 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat itself is pretty fun but easy on all difficulties, but where the different difficulties truly factor in is with exploration and situational RNG.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
77 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You can replay the game multiple ways (campaign or director mode), and replaying the campaign is actually fun because locations and events are procedurally generated.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Even while playing as Big Game Hunter, the most combat-friendly leader class, you have strong disincentives (other than your time, of course!) not to fight everything you meet.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
graphics well done characters, .. and islands look beautiful in my eyes.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Although the first iteration was by default much more brutal so I definitely appreciate the difficulty choice and scaling this time around.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There is a wide repertoire (classes) of main characters and secondary characters to choose.
