What players say
88% of 48,218 reviews are positive · 88% of 558 in the last 30 days
Players most often praise the story and character writing, the setting, build variety, and tactical combat. Common complaints target dense progression systems, heavy reading, uneven pacing, and an overlong campaign. A recent wave of negative reviews also objected to a newly added launcher, though players report that it was later removed.
