SO in general, if you are a fan of A RPG, the general gameplay is already Solid.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
97 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The Prologue is brilliantly made to give you backstory and plot of the game, while also giving the ability to play and test "maxed out" characters for what "Class" you'd like to play as.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
77 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I key binded all 5 skills to my mouse & combat flows smoothly: mainskill (manaless), M2 go-to, M3 movement (teleport, etc.), M4 utility (summon, buff, etc.), M5 burst dmg/utility.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
58 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I can compare this fps count to Titan Quest 2, with a disparity of graphics quality (at the same setting) that is unbelievable.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Great character customization using a grid system that makes a lot of builds viable and interesting.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
TL:DR, this is a super fun offline or co-op ARPG that is probably going to land best with people who enjoy making their own builds.
