Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
115 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The character customisation is quite extensive (eye colour, facial hair etc.) albeit potentially irrelevant as you will likely be wearing armour the entire time.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
91 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The writing is quite good and the campaign is lengthy - with at least 20 hours (probably) to finish all the acts.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
65 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat is very dynamic with an emphasis on using every one of your skill slots for a purpose, and dodging is just nice to have.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The only redeeming quality, if I can call it that, is the game's visuals.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The implementation of skills are unique and don't lock your character into a single playstyle.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design complements the visuals effectively, with a dark, orchestral soundtrack that enhances the mood and crisp audio effects that make combat satisfying.
