Gameplay

The Lamplighters League is a stellar game - both naratively and gameplay wise, but what keeps it from being truly evergreen is bad performance and some DEI stuff - more on that later.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
125 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In fact, I would say that the story in Lamplighters League was the best part about it, and the reason to push through some of it more bland/poor elements (which, as I said, will be detailed below).
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
94 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It features a fun art-style, fully voiced characters and a pretty entertaining combat system.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The 3D engine graphics and cutscenes are good, especially in 4K with ultra graphics if you can run them.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
46 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting is also excellent, both the lines which are consistent with the personality and profession the characters have but also the accents where you can easily spot where the characters come from even without checking the name and their appearance.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The playable characters are superb, dripping with personality and constantly exchanging such fun banter.
