Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
No path feels right or wrong, cannon or inconsequential, as long as it is the path you want to take, because Ryden treats all of them like they are the main narrative and every possible iteration of the story and characters has something interesting to explore, meaning this game has a massive amount of replayability.
