Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I could ramble on about the quests, the PVM, the fact Jagex staff talk openly to the community like humans (basically unheard of from a gaming company) but you get it.
81 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
(I recommend using the RuneLite version from the Jagex Launcher it’s much better and comes with helpful plugins that really improve your gameplay experience.)
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics

Some people have a hard time enjoying the game due to the low graphics quality.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it

Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
You can play very actively at bosses, raids, and PVP, or passively cut trees and fish all day while you watch videos or talk with friends.
