60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay, outside of being entirely too easy, is pretty fun, but there are far too many hoops to jump through to get to it.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a bit uncanny to see the traditionally pixel art style of the game be replaced with 3D models and more realistic proportions.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Love it, most of the complain is the "p2w" and they ignore all the greatness the game has to offer in story mode which is a LOT!
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
