Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
132 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It looks the best, story goes down like butter, movements are amazing, the world battles and exploration the best out of every mmo.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
84 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There is a monumental level of depth to this gameplay, and there's also about 7 campaigns worth of story quests alone to experiment with all of this in.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
70 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Like the Variety is amazing, it never gets boring, it's genuinely the best combat experience, i've had in MMORPG's.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The level scaling also works upwards as well in the multiplayer modes, automatically upscaling your gear to the appropriate level, although it is probably unwise to level up in PvP, I have heard WvW is not the worst levelling option though.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Add to that deep character customization, tons of builds, and both PvE and PvP modes, and you get a system that stays engaging for hundreds (or thousands) of hours.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style and environments are gorgeous, and the soundtrack is underrated.
