Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I love it for the world, the characters, combat, music, visuals, sound, and community.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Much of this content seems designed primarily for solo-focused players who care more about showing off their accomplishments than participating in a meaningful multiplayer experience in those high difficulty bosses I'm not saying everyone can do it solo.
