Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
118 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
My best armor and weapons has come from the Teeth of Naros DLC, but if you didn't have that, then blacksmithing creates better gear than you can buy in the regular game.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
110 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
TL;DR: Recommended, but with the caveat that you're getting a game from the golden age of 6.5/7 out of 10s (that already felt like a homage to those very same 6.5/7 out of 10s), whose gameplay and design choices may mean it wears out its welcome long before you've experienced all it has to offer.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
102 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The world is pretty, the dialogue with characters is entertaining and it can be fun for sure.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are pretty retro, but in that cartoony way that means they age well.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The character customisation, abilities, skills and fates systems tickled the Classic WoW part of my brain that really enjoys messing around with talent trees, and helped to add much needed depth to the game, with life-skill systems also provided to support your character.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Game ran perfectly well on Steam Deck at fully maxed settings, and didn't encounter any issues or crashes.
