+You can infinitely buy "droppable soul/rune items", for example you can buy an item for 6k, who is worth 3.2k to sell back, which allows you to help low level friends without too much cost, which can greatly help early grind.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
137 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
+Hand thrown weapons are varied and useful (throwing knife, javelin, grenade, holy scroll, throwing axe, to name a few)
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.

Co-op actually shares progression now, and there's a Friend Pass so your mates can join without buying it.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
85 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I especially liked the magic system, how it was designed and how versatile it was; some catalysts found in the early stages can be really good even in the end-game, and I loved the fact that you can swap enchantments from the menu instead of resting at a checkpoint (souls-like), while also casting spells from different schools from the same catalyst by equipping a ring.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For a soulslike fan, the game immediately hooks you with its visuals.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game was fun in terms of combat and pvp 1v1s, but let me tell what an atrocity of an experience this was with my friend in Co-op.
