I adore it's aesthetic from it's use of contrasting colors to the ornate boss designs, map traversal and exploration is simple, yet oddly therapeutic, and the barebones story/lore is eccentric and weirdly intriguing (like... I really want to know more about the Ancient Queen).
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
