A creative mode is included, with far fewer restrictions than story mode, in which truly incredible 3d models can be created.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
129 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There are so many customization options I wasnt really left wanting in 22 hours.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Players do not select weapons from menus or predefined templates; instead, they physically shape blades from raw metal using an extensive set of tools and modular components.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I loved having choices and that certain lines triggered sound effects, which made the story more immersive like the screaming in the background that forced me into reading faster and feel under pressure as I'm sure the character did in that moment.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
My game never crashed, the sword builder looks great, paired with choosing different lighting without lag.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Good balance of difficulty, resource/money management, good characters, imperfect protagonist (that's a good thing), fun gameplay.
