Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Sure, it's fun, it's a great time killer, the story is superb to an unbelievable degree as well as the concept of the MC's lore, if the bugs can be fix i'm more than certain that it would be on par if not surpass many major titles in a similar genre.
