What I do like: almost everything respawns (all the vegetation, rocks, animals, etc.). the fact that I can recover my arrows. the graphics. the fact that I can have a mount, the story.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Aside from all that, something about the open ambiguous nature of the map itself combined with this specific soundtrack feels eerily.... therapeutic???
