Be prepared for spending many hours exploring, fighting, playing cards in the Taverns and eventually solving the main quest of the game.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
89 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The stories in both the main game and its expansion captivates with numerous twists that kept me questioning the motives of the more important characters you are forced to interact with.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
66 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Some people seem to complain about lack of animations, there really is not that much but for me that is no problem at all, since the hand-drawn graphics make totally up for that.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Game offers deep and open character customization, wide variety of equipment and spells, and sufficiently deep alchemy system.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

ONE character (not 4 like those 90s games) very open world, non random, weather has an actual effect on the play. loads of world space to play in, very easy learning curve. nice, if a little repeditive music, sound effects a little weak, but still do the job. very low system requierments.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's got great hand-drawn assets, a small but very great soundtrack, a pretty interesting story and decently large world to explore with tons of lore and puzzles to solve, as well as interesting characters (Such as the Strange Man).
