Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
155 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's so intertwined with the main story and well written that I honestly wouldn't have been able to tell it was DLC if I didn't already know it was.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
131 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
When the mode is active the combat is a lot more tense too.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
120 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay is solid - though there's less voice acting after the first act so if significant blocks of text are not your thing, it may not suit you.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting is pretty good as well, though it's only for a few lines of dialogue, not everything is voiced due to the nature of the game's overblown writing.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Character customization through builds is amazing but kind of a slog when you have to level up 7-8 characters at once in your retinue.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics aren't brilliant, but they're good enough and reflect the characters and the world very well.
