Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Highly replayable PVE, PVP.. charismatic characters, AMAZING graphics for a decade old release.. somewhat lame story which is kinda cool the first time you do them..

Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
- Character variants are seriously amazing and I wish more games incorporated character or weapon variants because it's incredibly fun to test out variants and find interesting quirks or reactions between different variants and increases how dynamic the combat is during matches.
