Yeah well, I think the graphics are great. Compared to almost everything ever released, they are great. I don't know what standards one would have to deny that.
I do think the game is a bit overrated though, the Alfheim part was extremely underwhelming and bland, which made out a good portion of the game. I don't know, I just expected more. Some grand moments for sure, but it felt like they maybe held back a little for the sequel or DLC.
Would have liked some even more enormous, mind-blowing bosses and environments but hey, the game is still great.
