Lots of parts to mix and match, and builds to make according to the way you play and the situations that you're bound to encounter.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
66 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Now, for $20 this might not feel so bad, but I feel like the intrigue generated by the story and the setting betrays the low-bar $20 expectations.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It didn't hit the same way as DS1 but that's a high bar, though the voice acting is excellent.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story, lore, aesthetic, character design, area design, writing (including english), UI, music, are all very very good.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
They're good, in my opinion they're better than the controller controls, with the only real issue being weird camera handling (slows down significantly when you're close to a wall)
