Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
A good ending to god awful story, poorly balanced and padded out the wazoo game does not make it a good game.

But really, just playing normally, I was never starved for points or stuck on progression.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Graphic wise the game is really beautiful, i quite like how the (albeight few) areas you visit look with the lighting, shadows, shadders, it's honestly great and that's about the one highlight out of all of this even if the maps are basically the same from previous titles (The music is balling too, that is ESPECIALLY True for the final boss).
