Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
134 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
All dialogues are written in the way that manages to balance seriousness and humor, and makes you both engulf in the story and then make you laugh when needed, The characters are not bland, each having their problems and personality.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
114 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat is fun and challenging, if a bit janky, and with a solid set of RPG mechanics with stats and skills trees, there are many ways to play.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
93 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat as a mage was more engaging than I expected since your character is pretty nimble and can do backflips while shooting magic arrows, but the combat does lose interest over time since it eventually just settles into repeating the exact same moves.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
46 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has excellently written dialogue, a fair number of effective (albeit boring) skills and loot drops, and the graphics were pretty impressive for a game from 2009.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack by Kirill Pokrovsky is just as incredible as in previous games.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
On top of equipment that has slots for charms and enchantments you can really build your character in any way you want.
