Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I was working a lot, barely paying attention to the story, and honestly I don't think I gave the game a fair chance.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Exploring the island, hunting animals, upgrading equipment, capturing outposts, climbing towers... it's a gameplay loop that is still fun today.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
As far as the game for others who might not know what it's about, it's a pretty lengthy open world game with beautiful graphics, though may feel repetitive for some.
