What players say
91% of 34,007 reviews are positive · 84% of 100 in the last 30 days
Players chiefly praise the story, characters, worlds, and choice-driven replayability. The dominant complaint is that the PC version crashes or breaks on modern systems, often requiring extensive modding and troubleshooting that does not work for everyone.
