Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
41 of 104 sampled reviews raised it
I love uncovering the stories making connections to characters and events from previous games and learning how the newest events are shaping Terrestria.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
34 of 104 sampled reviews raised it
Every mechanic is utilized (to some degree or another), every character can do anything given enough artifacts (which are by far the most powerful of the series), and I've had some of the sweatiest, most skill-intensive fights at the endgame.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
21 of 104 sampled reviews raised it
Traps are the deadliest they've ever been, some combat areas are intentionally difficult to encourage stealth, and properly building up combat/creation skills leads to smoother level progression & loot hauls
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
19 of 104 sampled reviews raised it
This game has improved the graphics from the older games quite a bit.
