Why players love itThings to know
75% of themes are praise25% are divided0% are caveats
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Together, these elements consistently earned praise in early critic reviews for crafting atmosphere and mood, even in a game that can otherwise feel abstracted from narrative drive
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Mechanically, the gameplay mirrors its board game origin: success in Adventures is resolved by matching glyphs — symbols that represent different dice outcomes — against those required by the scenario.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
It is a great simulated boardgame with only one single drawback: Missing multiplayer support.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I cannot stress enough that the graphics, music, voice narration, and tone of the game nail the atmosphere of the source material.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
This game could have done a lot more to make it more palatable: online multiplayer, local co-op with gamepads, a campaign story, character unlockables, game expansions, different boss themed elements, or even just providing soundtrack assets...
