Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
130 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Each character has their own unique skill tree and every character feels and plays uniquely.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
129 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat takes a straightforward XCOM-ish approach that is easy to understand but still satisfying.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
120 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its fantastic atmosphere, memorable setting, entertaining presentation, and accessible tactical combat make it an enjoyable campaign, even if the limited team size, mediocre talents, and lack of meaningful post-game content prevent it from reaching its full potential.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It’s a great way of letting the other playable characters be more than just fodder in your quest for vengeance and genuinely start building a connection to them.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics are great, so great I would zone out at times just looking at the amazing amount of detail in the maps.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Voice acting (fully voice acted even for minor characters), music and sound effects are similarly good, but nothing especially impressive.
