Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
50 of 157 sampled reviews raised it
Conversely, there is a heavy emphasis on story and dialogue, which I typically found to be well-written and engaging.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
43 of 157 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay is fairly fun and intuitive, with a heavy emphasis on exploration and meeting the inhabitants of the world, and allows you to go at your preferred difficulty level (ranging from casual for a more story-focussed playthrough up to an aptly-named torment difficulty level for anyone so inclined).
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
27 of 157 sampled reviews raised it
By and large, the combat is well-balanced with relatively little standing out as "overpowered" or "too weak to bother with".
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
17 of 157 sampled reviews raised it
The game looks wonderful on a modern display, and there are options to increase the graphics/text size, with small text being a chief complaint over the last handful of years.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
9 of 157 sampled reviews raised it
Like always, difficulty settings make sure everyone can have the experience they want, I play on Veteran most of the time and find it very well balanced.
