101 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's absolutely got the sauce; fantastic feeling movement and moveset, great character designs, superb atmosphere and world to explore, a crazy amount to see and do for a free game (I only JUST finished 100%ing it after 12 hours of play according to my in-game save file) and satisfying exploration.

It knows how to pull it off, considering it does way more than simply keeping graphics low-poly.
