Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
139 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While the story itself is decent but a bit stereotyped, the characters are the star of it and keep it interesting.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
134 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Exploration is satisfying and rewarding, as there is a lot of scrap (currency) lying around waiting to be found and then spent at the merchant, while also equipment crates awarding new weapons and armors, and rare Artifacts, unlocking points to purchase powerful passive abilities back at the Ark.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
133 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The 'ka-ching' sound when collecting stuff, little cutscenes that play when you open a chest, well-drawn icons, and cohesive UI make looting a highly satisfying endeavor.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization is superb and low-end machines can probably run this without issues (it even has an integrated graphics mode).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Most of the characters had a lot of personality to them and voice acting was good.
Characters

The environments in this game are well thought out and the graphics are beautiful, the character design peaks your interest and draws you into wanting to know their stories.
