Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
If you are still on board after all of that, the game itself is fun, has a nice art style, and has some solid bones to be built on with a Dev team that interacts well with the community.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
- There's native controller support which is a godsend and with proper binding feels similar to a Souls game.
