Players enjoy the immersive and captivating nature of the story, which is complemented by the game's mechanics and art style.
- “The hard work put into developing the engaging storyline is marvelous.”
- “This is a continuation of a grim, yet wondrously non-stagnant world which I have come to love, from where the story starts under the sun as we step onto a sandy shore fresh from an imperial prison ship, to entering Ashborne, and now here, where twin moons glower down at us, one fair, the other ruddy... so - who will you become?”
- “The story is fleshed out and ties in the other games in interesting ways.”
- “The story felt like the dev wanted to make a new IP but wanted to make the game similar to the past ones.”
- “While you can have many different builds and strategies to beat the game, I find it hard to justify when the story, bosses, and everything is going to be the same.”
- “That said, I feel like the storytelling has too much world building and not enough story.”
