Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
HOWEVER I will say this I think you should either wait for a sale(as i did) if your skeptical or until they add an actual ending to the game because in its current state this game does not have a final boss or an ending (you are wisped back to the settlement and given a boss shard). 1 more thing this game stutters ALOT ive tried everything turning the graphics down playing in windowed checking the forum etc, and this is on pretty decent hardware (NVIDIA Geforce rtx 2070 super).

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The art direction and soundtrack are also great and both align with the atmosphere of the first game.
