I liked the story, it had a bit of a road movie feel, as our team got into bigger and bigger trouble at each location.
Combat

21 of 80 sampled reviews raised it
The good parts are the visuals (gorgeous landscapes, the main character is well designed, cool outfits and flashy combat effects, etc), made with Unity but really nice to look at.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
17 of 80 sampled reviews raised it
