Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The game definitely looks promising, it has lots of interesting gameplay options, and while it executes combat almost flawlessly ( the main problem for me would be berserk mode being the "I win" button ) the optimisation is well... mediocre.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The game mechanics such as the parry, dodge, and even combos are very wonky, there seems to be only one fare for the parry mechanic to even connect so that already says to me that you need about 50 or so hours of just doing the parry to get it perfectly every time, there are no start up frames or ending frames from what I can tell.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Also alright with nice sound effects and music although a bit too loud for my liking.
