121 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The good is that combat is really fun, pretty big change from the previous game where you just freeze everything and unload arrows.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
88 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Aside from the gorgeous graphics, which of course help a lot, every character is extremely interactive with other NPCs and the environment.
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Between the stunning PC optimization, the thrill of dismantling massive machines, and the incredible new traversal mechanics like the Sunwing, it’s a rare title that remains addictive well past the hundred-hour mark.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I need to commend the Polish voice acting (Julia Kołakowska-Bytner, Piotr Warszawski, Jacek Król, Agnieszka Matysiak) who really make them bearable, despite awful script.
