Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
181 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As I mentioned before, I don't want to talk about the story, because I believe that it's one of the best parts of the game, but the character writing continues to be top-notch and the family is still one of the highlights and the core of the game.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
125 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While I do believe that the changes in the gameplay core regarding the petitions do make the gameplay loop easier than in the first game, I find it the system of Snowfall much more engaging and adaptable to your circumstances.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are great, the storylines are engaging, and there is an impressive amount of attention to detail.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The music, like in the first game, is still great, with a high emphasis on slavic folklore and music, with some of the themes performed by Percival (who also participated in the soundtrack for The Witcher 3).
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I can't agree with the critics about the resources management nor the difficulty.
