Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics are really nice, I wouldn't go as far as saying their like "realistic" but they're certainly crisp looking and have enough detail to give you a sense of the beauty of the living lands.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
In combat the sound effects are powerful and satisfying - you can hear the wood of a shield being hit, or metal if it's a steel shield, the pistols/rifles if you use them sound satisfying: you can hear the click of the hammer, the powder exploding, and the round leaving the barrel; They spent a lot of time it seems getting it right and it just adds to the satisfaction.
