They serve a multitude of purposes, from item crafting to bombarding enemy forces , and were quite fun to get around the map.

During Casual run i was learning the mechanics, did all possible achievements and enjoyed the plot, art and music in general, during Brutal - checked what kind of a challenge this game has to offer.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
41 of 179 sampled reviews raised it
Both run were pretty fast and enjoyable, game really shines on max difficulty - you actually have to use all available tactics, skills, craft not only permanent items but consumables as well.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

When I bought "Highlands" over a year ago, the beautiful art style had me sold on the idea, but I only started playing it this week for the first time.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
10 of 179 sampled reviews raised it
But aside of its beautiful soundtrack and visual style, as well as challenging gameplay if one should chose - with those being well balanced by the available mechanics - this wouldn't be a review without mentioning the bad sides of the game.
