Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
119 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game excels at combat encounters and exploration, I've had so much fun tackling the standard campaign encounters, bits of exploration and for the MOST part the puzzles, except a certain part in a wizard made labyrinth I am 100% sure we encountered some bug in, and had to cheese with Misty Step to complete, otherwise we'd be hard stuck.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

BUT The scenes and backgrounds and VFX are all great, and its like they put all their effort into gameplay and art and none into character faces and its so funny to me.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics won't win any awards but they're good enough to make the game experience feel good
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
BIG BONUS: Co-op is always great nowadays so i really do tend to emphasize it as good.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It particularly brings that 3D dimensionality to D&D lacking in most prior games; and it offers full character customization and extensive spell lists (though certain classes & species only come with DLC).
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The ability to change the difficulty on the fly is nice and you can save wherever you want.
