Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
98 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you do struggle, the difficulty is very easily adjustable during gameplay with the many accessibility settings included, and can be skipped fully if you feel like it.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
87 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's definitely not perfect-generation-defining-GOTY-2023 by any means, but if you have run out of games from the latter category and you need some new weird little dorks to shake around in your brain mixed with some good combat, this is something you might want to check out.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its presentation, with its art style and music, is still one of the best, but the game itself falls short when compared to others of this type.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is also great - the songs are nicely textured and have this specific "weird" quality that fits just right with the game, are quite funky and one of the battle themes was so groovy to my brain I basically played it on loop 24/7 for at least 3 days straight.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It was fun, including the difficulty spike in Chapter 5, and you never know what a boss battle will hold.
Accessibility
Players who bring up Accessibility mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game emphasized accessibility for players regarding combat and making it easier.
