Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The diplomacy, clan system, economy, companions, crafting, sieges, kingdom management, and character progression give the game an absurd amount of content.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is so incredibly fun and while it can get stale and repetitive, theres other things to do in the meantime.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
He says that the actual single-player sandbox mode has even more cool mechanics, but we were having a blast in the co-op so far. (you can look up the most popular co-op mod on the Workshop if you're interested).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
even w my decent pc there was a stutter. come to find out it was the cloth simulation. runs like butter now w 1k plus troops on normal army sizes. after playing this i just cant go back to warband. i love warband but there's just so much more life in this game. the graphics and siege mechanics are beautiful!
