Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
98 of 300 sampled reviews raised 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?) and it somehow all works, giving a lot of ways for you to master it, while being immensely satisfying.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
84 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat itself is a joy ride that only gets better the more you learn about it.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
79 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's not a disappointing story by any stretch, and the absurd consistency with which the stakes and power levels of events rise by the end will entertain you the entire way, but don't go in expecting moving character moments or thrilling twists.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
On a Normal difficulty playthrough, these sections are novel sequences that add flavor to the proceedings.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Despite the simple and cartoon nature of the visuals, the game is packed end to end with nothing but pleasing colors, massive scale, inspired designs, and constantly entertaining spectacle.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised 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.
