On top of that, the game feels properly optimized - I did not experience any framerate drops or stuttering during my playthrough.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack throughout the game somehow intensifies the feeling of wonder and excitement you feel when first starting. at some points, its peaceful and soothing, at others it feels mystical and fantasizing, and when starting combat, it really adds to the adrenaline pumping through your veins, making you feel like the sword slicing down at you will really take your life if you're not careful.
