There's loot around every corner, it's like opening a gacha every 2 minutes, super addicting gameplay loop.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
46 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I don't recommend paying full price for it, but at a deep enough discount it's worth a play-through if just to wonder at the pretty graphics and enjoy the characters and world-building that they were trying to go for.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
All of that said, combat is fun, the narrator's dialogue is both funny and helpful (honestly a rarity for games that feature voiced narrators), and the game's world and character design is truly beautiful, even now - almost 4 years later.
