Me, personally, found the artwork, historical aspects, and tools/weapons available to the player the most charming to the game.

8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I think the major problem of this game is that it prioritises style over substance: the settings, graphical style, and sound design are really good, but the UI and gameplay loop are so terribly confusing.
