Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
36 of 95 sampled reviews raised it
It's a joy to play because everything "just works." (Now if only the guy behind the controller had better skills.) The game title could have easily been "Zeldaheim" ... it's got that Zelda look and feel, but the exploration/progression of Valheim.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
20 of 95 sampled reviews raised it
Rather than throwing players into a purely sandbox environment, Oppidum grounds its experience in narrative context, giving meaning to exploration and crafting through a clear sense of motivation and place.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 95 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is very consistent and the world is interesting and very dense, making the island that you play the game on feel okay in size despite being small.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
10 of 95 sampled reviews raised it
The bosses are a very good point, even in the hardest difficulty, they're not just massive health bars.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
9 of 95 sampled reviews raised it
I am playing a co-op with my boyfriend and it's been a great way to spend time together and bond :)
Accessibility
Players who bring up Accessibility mostly praise it.
3 of 95 sampled reviews raised it
One of Oppidum’s most notable strengths is its extensive customization and accessibility options.
