Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
190 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Exploring and curiousity are rewarded well in this game, I stumbled upon the Qinghe "campaign bosses" mostly by accidents.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
149 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I'm loving the game and all it has to offer and I am looking forward to the updates that have already been released in China (new regions, new story, new weapons, new side quests, new skills, etc).
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
137 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Right from the start, there is a strong focus on the story.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
78 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are amazing and artistically pleasing (with high frame rates - a 2060 class GPU should net you at least a steady 30 fps on 'high'. A 4060 should get 60 on 'max' settings - the game isn't too graphically demanding but a better GPU will deliver smoother performance).
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Legendary difficulty (which can only be selected at the start of the game but can be turned down if needed) offers a solid challenge with different approaches being viable.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I look forward to more releases of the soundtrack, usually incorporating traditional chinese operatic instruments and styles.
