-Amazing lighting and effects that really give the game a nice mystic type of feel
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack easily rivals classics like Suikoden II , the lore is intriguing, the cutscene animations are gorgeous, and the narrative leaves just enough unanswered questions for a potential sequel.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty is well balanced and can be adjusted whenever you want, without any penalties like losing an achievement for not completing the game on a specific difficulty, which is a really nice point.
