Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
129 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Even though there is a lot of death and dying, there are also many checkpoints in this game, way more than many similar games will offer.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
93 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I would say that this game is 70% platforming and 30% combat, which is a nice and refreshing balance from similar titles where combat is a heavier focus.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
88 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Quests - This game takes a very forward approach to questing, and offers a proper quest log with checkpoints for each individual quest as you progress through the game.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound and Visuals - The zones are beautiful and, despite what other reviewers have said, I quite enjoyed the look of most areas.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The audio department has no issues whatsoever, the soundtrack is great, from diverse songs playing throughout each zone to nice boss fight songs.
