P1's story is far, far superior, and not just because P2 suffers from sequelitis.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay stays more or less the same as in one with further improvements and a combat system to die for.
Graphics

22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It got more moves and is funnier overall to play, while the graphics are sufficient to appreciate gameplay at this day.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's locked at 60 FPS, but it rarely feels like it, often feeling closer to something just above 30 FPS.

8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Suspends well and have played 10 hours on and off on the steam deck and hasn’t crashed once.
