Gameplay

This mechanic transforms every encounter into a moment of extreme tension, where stillness is often more powerful than aggression.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
16 of 104 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals are beautiful, how some parts of the maps are animated, and some other are in a front layer, not all in the background, it really looks like a "living painting" with the warriors fighting.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
16 of 104 sampled reviews raised it
+Three different combat stances to utilise, each with giving you a different advantage
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
7 of 104 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is wonderful, I think it suits every map so good (each map has its own), but things to be said, the menu song, despite being relaxing, can become repetitive to some, because it's a short simple melody, and if you have a long wait for an online match, you have to listen to it until you find a player (if you have music activated in the options)
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
7 of 104 sampled reviews raised it
The game is nice when you play single player or with a friend online or on the same computer.
