Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
97 of 263 sampled reviews raised it
There’s a lot to explore besides the main story, and despite occasional stutters when loading into the game, it runs very well.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
86 of 263 sampled reviews raised it
Imagine the Naruto like Combat system mix in with the Tales Combat System+reward based system and somehow has a feeling of classic Square Game setting (Not Square Enix, Square) and Zelda like feeling when it comes to the exploration + Interaction.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
40 of 263 sampled reviews raised it
Despite that, with the CPU GPU I currently have, Intel HD Graphics 630 under the Kabylake i7-7700HQ, the game still runs very well because of the game engine.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
33 of 263 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is really good, arguably one of the best parts of the game.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
20 of 263 sampled reviews raised it
Good visual, great character design, beautiful cutscenes, interesting gameplay (it's basically a fighting game with some RPG aspects)
