But they pull it off well and create a world that I enjoyed exploring.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
128 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is way better than it has any right to be.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
118 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It is dripping with atmosphere, brimming with plot and sidequest-altering secrets, and will keep you busy for at least 30 hours (not including New Game +).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals get better though with the various locations, from the backgrounds looking rather cold, to seeing some caves with spiders crawling in the background, giving you a firm sense of dread or just enough detail to know what kind of location you're really in, even the town hub and its buildings really set in what kind of place you're generally dealing with.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As much as I like both the visuals, music, and overall sound design.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The character model is fantastic, with each change of armor granting a different appearance.
