Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Doing your first dungeon in the training tutorial mode is exceedingly boring up until the hunt itself because almost all the interesting gameplay mechanics are disabled so it's easy to be really disappointed like "oh.. this is the game?"
5 of 77 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Cons: Low player base at the time or writing this (for those who appreciate stranger danger this could be a con, but a non-issue for me who plays exclusively with friends), new game issues which is normal for an early release such as; climbing or falling into locations not intended thus not able to leave said location without relogging, high gpu usage for some individuals (I haven't seen this personally, my 2070 super runs epic graphics at sub 70 degree temps, but a friend has a 3070 ti that pushes 88 degrees) So, optimization is still something that needs worked on, but not surprising given the early access.
