Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Posting my review after completing the game (normal) and achieving 100% achievements in one play through while following a guide... so some of my ~62 hrs (at review time) was spent reading a guide as I played... and at one point I redid about 5hrs of play because I (incorrectly) thought I had a bugged side-quest and reverted a save from my daily backup (losing 1 day's play)... so perhaps my actual game time was somewhere in the 55+ hrs range?

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It does some things well like visual design and atmosphere; some things mediocre like its gameplay; and some things both good and bad like its writing.

Loved the rich writing and voice acting.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The only real issue I had with the game performance wise was textures wouldn't full render causing some objects and characters to look like they're made of blurry clay.
