Why players love itThings to know
75% of themes are praise13% are divided12% are caveats
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The writing for dialogue is also pretty darn good, and comparatively much better to other VN type experiences I've played.
239 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The voice acting is great.
85 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The game also lacks the ability to replay segments or even have save slots which shoots replayability in the foot quite a bit.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The visuals are wonderful.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
The rhythm game was a cool part too, although I feel like it was far too easy.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
It does have support for mouse and keyboard as well as controller, but I can't speak for how well they are as I stuck with controller, which definitely works well with the rhythm game portions.
