As such, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there’s actually a good bit of depth to the combat.

79 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay itself is also very refined this time around, a far cry from what Z: Chaos was.

And the visuals are nice and colorful, with a clean anime style.

The third playable character, Lel, is fun to play as and very unique compared to Aya and Saki.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design is very good, the dub is really great for the product at hand, despite some lines being recorded in different studios (the quality varies a bit from line to line) and the music, as always, fits the themes perfectly.
