I've played the game quite a bit, it rocks, good for solo and small group play.

Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Subtle skill effects will reflect off dark dungeon walls and the lighting and atmosphere is very well done here.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
16 of 295 sampled reviews raised it
I disliked a few of my characters at first, but you start to feel very rewarded as your class becomes more powerful with class defining skills, stats, and more haste as you level up.. basically speeding up the combat over time.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
14 of 295 sampled reviews raised it
Good performance did require some tweaking, but I gained sizable fps in some cases with the game looking nice at a capped 60 fps on my 3060ti.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
14 of 295 sampled reviews raised it
Just the right level of difficulty - perhaps a little easier than old EQ, a little harder than LOTRO.
