Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
This game is a product of passion and love, it's got a fantastic soundtrack, great aesthetic, great dialogue, and some top tier voice acting to boot.
104 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It's a game that has like 5 different types of progression system to try and not overwhelm you and a game that references seemingly every sci fi B TV show and movie ever made in Japan and some outside of it (like possibly UFO for Alice?)

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
All of this is wraped with stelar graphics highlighting important stuff, like incoming enemy attacks, and giving all of the actions the player will perform a whole lot of impact and flare, a exelent soundtrack elevating a lot of moments in the game to unforgettable heights and writing and VA that will make you genuinely laugh with the game.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The music, sound, and voice acting is equally as excellent and the attention to detail throughout at the game is nothing short of inspirational.

Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
-Runs really well, didn't get any framerate drops
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
In short this is a successful but messy port, I recommend it for its optimization (with the patch) and for how great the game itself is, but... good gosh you better fix this thing Platinum.
