97 on Opencritic with 46 reviews, 100% recommended.
Overwhelmingly Positive (96%) reviews since release on Steam, based on 106,318 reviews.
Very Positive (94%) reviews overall, based on 164,626.
2.5M units in sales during Early Access.
5-10M+ units sold at least.
875,343 Concurrent Players on Steam, 9th of all time, 4th among singleplayer games.

The only RPG in recent memory to receive this kind of financial and critical feedback by an independent studio (not owned by a publisher) would be Witcher 3's initial reception.

You should definitely make separate threads on each of those metrics.
