The world, story, atmosphere, and core mechanics are all incredibly well done, and it's clear that a lot of care and creativity went into creating this experience.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics look incredible especially due to the dynamic lighting (I love that you actually need a torch to explore unlike other games in which dungeons are miraculously illuminated by conveniently placed light sources like a film set).
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I feel as if this game would be great in a multiplayer setting rather than singleplayer.
