Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
63 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Charming characters, thrilling atmosphere, great music, exciting combat, fun progression system, tragic but at the same time epic story - everything at it's place to create inimitable dark tale.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's just enough to the combat to keep it interesting but it unfortunately does fall into that endgame state of basically becoming a god who has mastered anything and so build decisions and experience expenditure cease to really matter.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The anniversary edition looks terrible and it's not my nostalgia eye, textures and lighting in the original game are just BETTER.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In my opinion it feels like a mix of an ARPG and an Open World game.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The characters are memorable, the voice acting is great, and there’s a certain charm to everything that makes it feel like you’re part of a classic fantasy tale.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This ran great on the Steam deck but after long play sessions the audio would start skipping until you restarted the game.
