Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
116 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's solidly-built, has a beautifully-designed world, interesting characters, a great story, and a fantastic open-world feel.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
105 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you'd like to engage in some good old school fantasy roleplaying that channels the pen & paper spirit of Baldur's Gate, mixes in some epic gameplay ala Diablo 3 and tops it all off with the high level tactical combat of XCOM and Jagged Alliance, do yourself a favor and buy this game.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
93 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I've always preferred using tactics during combat and enjoy having the freedom to plan out my moves, rather than engaging in a mindless clickfest or spamming hotkeys until they cooldown.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
46 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has 70+ hours of content, enough exploration/quests to keep you busy the whole time, full campaign co-op, multiple companions you can bring (Madora and Jafar were my 2), a whole slew of attributes/skills/perks to build your unique character with, and just about anything else you would expect from an isometric RPG.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
With the graphics cranked up to ultra the game is absolutely beautiful.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Character customization as far as your class, perks, talents, and skills is LIMITLESS.
