Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
9D3 significantly incentives completionism in all of its areas of gameplay.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
It is singularly my only "complaint" about this game, and even there the dark dreary textures that seem to blend into each other are vastly outweighed by amazingly implemented gameplay mechanics, a fun little story that doesn't take itself too seriously, and a plethora of crafting minigames and card minigames that will keep you entertained for hours.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
Quantity isn't always the most important factor though, but local coop could also be an interesting feature.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Would be a great game if it had multiplayer, could see it doing well as a little mini MMO.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The atmosphere is good, the soundtrack is excellent, the dialogues with NPCs are quite fun, you can craft everything from potions to equipment to gems etc.
