Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
123 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game, especially on your first playthrough, will constantly surprise you, with interesting mechanics, very elaborate easter eggs, hidden areas, characters, bosses and hidden lore galore.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
119 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game also feels, at first, highly replayable, due to this sheer vastness and narrative depth and layers, which are only piled upon with every major update.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
74 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It’s all exquisitely done, and the soundtrack, sound design and general atmosphere are some of the best I’ve ever experienced.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat itself is nothing super unique, but it serves the game's artstyle incredibly well and can vary enough with your weapon and party compositions that not every battle is just 'hit it with your basic attack until it dies', with some outside the box solutions for certain encounters as well.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Art style is crazy good, enemy designs are excellent, music is great, battles (on survival difficulty) feel challenging but fair, and it's very obvious when you’re out of your element in a fight; build potential is great also.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The best part is the companions like omg who ever designed these you are like the god of character design, in a RPG like look outside with a big selection of 18 (19 if you count sam) you would think some would fall flat personality wise but NO!
