Story

91 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I suggest you read the manga first if you arent familiar with the story, because the story is the strong point in Berserk.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

Great game for Berserk fans, gameplay is a bit repetitive and boring but fun to play again sometimes.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
That doesn't mean you wont be enjoying the combat enough just to run through Endless Eclipse every now and then just to crack some demon skulls with your massive sword, because you definitely will.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are surprisingly great, the endless / free modes have way more detail than you'd expect and are genuinely pretty fun, and the game doesn't really have any crashing or major stutters.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game uses scenes cut straight from the movie trilogy and parts of the 2016 anime as well as in game rendered cut scenes to drive the story/plot in between fight sequences, and are almost entirely voice acted, however it is in Japanese and is fully subtitled, the voice acting sounds phenomenal.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you opt out of this it keeps warning you, I'm playing on windows 11 and the game runs beautifully, didn't drop framerate once, so I don't get what this is about.
