Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
155 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you're looking for challenging combat with lots of boss fights or a scripted story then maybe look elsewhere.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
152 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Regardless, each of them is rife with secrets, hidden boss encounters, unique items, and special interactions, which makes exploration extremely worthwhile, even if that usually means getting lost a dozen times over.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As a gamer (ignoring my professional opinion) i love the setting, the soundtrack, the weapons and the mood.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The overall lighting is good but sometimes it gets too dark, i know lighting can be tricky in unreal but can be easily fixed with post process volumes in specific areas.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You got parries, dodges, a bunch of different weapon classes that all feel unique and are fun to use, bows, magic, pretty much whatever you want.
Crashes
Players who bring up Crashes mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I'm still pretty early in on the main release and with the above 'fixes' there's been no bugs/crashes/issues.
