Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The story is much more fleshed out and compelling with different characters, races, and unique locations to it than the first game had.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
So after 21 hours I can say the game is flowing nicely, and the gameplay loop is a lot of fun -- I've also now unlocked what appears to be access to more (community made) worlds, and the ability to make your own.. which should make for a good deal of replayability, not to mention good old GM-ing fun..

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The lighting can get genuinely shockingly great for a game with this art style- one rune puzzle especially stood out.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
A good amount of love has been given in the making of the soundtrack, influenced by contemporary folk bands I follow such as Wardruna and Heilung.
