Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I really liked the gameplay, the exploration and the story (it's not the most incredible story I have ever seen, but that clearly wasn't the main focus of the devs so it's fine).
175 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
And the art style is arresting and really stands out so kudos to the art team, environmental artists and everyone else who contributed to it.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Honestly the voice acting I experienced in my time with the game was above average for a game of this size/scope.

Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
-Game graphics and optimization are really good, there is some micro stutters that are frequent but i think it happens because they didnt added a shader compilation on the game

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
Very nice menus, good map, nice visual effects of blood, and I realized that it was decades since I saw such a nice and beautiful HUD.
