Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I only have minor graphical problems on Proton like many other player models not loading, but just about everything else is perfectly fine considering my Thinkpad is running Intel HD graphics on a 6th gen i5 at 1080p and gets about 60fps in a chill area and 25 in a really busy one.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I think they should have made the game a bit more user friendly, it lacks good gameplay explanations and sometimes locating characters or key items can be a bit confusing.

Many Turkish players played on the American servers from the start.
