Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

state-of-the-art amazing voice acting created within a budget for which some other games don't have any at all;
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
21 of 139 sampled reviews raised it
Replayability as different mages is an interesting concept for replayability; however puzzles usually have only a single solution per class.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
13 of 139 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are good, reminiscent of games made in the early to mid 90's (like Kings Quest 5 & 6, QFG 3 & 4).
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
12 of 139 sampled reviews raised it
Good: the interface - there is actually a choice of THREE interfaces. a top of screen toolbar that reminds me of a king's quest or roger wilco game. a zork-esque radial menu, and a boxy context menu that seems familiar but I can't quite place it. choose whichever one you prefer.
