Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Summary: While Ritual may be in need of some quality of life improvements in certain areas, its fast-paced action-packed and strategic gameplay mixed with a metal soundtrack and varied weapons and abilities, create a difficult yet fun and engaging take on the Wild West.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The narrative is delivered sparingly through stylized cutscenes and environmental flavor, favoring mood and implication over exposition, which suits the bleak tone of the world.
