Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Like Ori, Fe guides the player to a degree (more than in Ori if you leave map markers on), but there is still a bit of exploration and cool puzzle solving to be done, as well as interesting upgrades that you acquire in a linear progression across a non-linear map.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
One comparison that comes to mind is between Fe and the 2D Ori and the Blind Forest (Definitive edition), as both games use a considerable amount of linear metroidvania, comparable price points, and awesome orchestral music.
