Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
161 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The open world itself has AAA-qualities in my opinion, story and quests are fun but the rest is mostly indie class.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
154 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Whether it's the side-quests; main quests; different choices; different things happening in this game-world, story, narrative, and/or whatever & what have you - it's all very compelling, when taken in as a whole.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Ain't the best looking game technically, but there's tons of different textures & details everywhere to immerse you into the game-world & its atmosphere - which is similar to what Vampyr has going on.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I was able to keep ~120 FPS most of the time, with small drops from time to time.
