What players say

95% of 187,797 reviews are positive · 91% of 1,505 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the story, characters, soundtrack, and painterly art direction. The most common complaints are that parry-heavy combat grows repetitive and that the later story direction undercuts earlier themes and character development.
