Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

Overall, the game is just good plain fun, and it is a casual sandbox to drop in and drop out of in if you are pushed for time, or struggle jumping back into a 30 hour narrative distraction.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
79 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The quest system is exactly what you'd expect from an old school RPG like Runescape which this game is almost directly based upon (this is a good thing as there's a huge niche for old school RPGs), and with the gameplay loop and combat plays similarly to Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, but with a more deep combat system.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are part of this game's charm and if nothing else (more on that in a moment) they add to it with all the other stuff to do in this game.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Super fun game, would recommend giving it a go even at this stage in development, character customization in this game is super good and this game has an amazing dev who takes advice from the community and is active in helping players with bugs or quests if they can't find an already existing guide.
