It's very satisfying when you struggle while exploring an area for the 1st time, having to use your gear in a clever way, dealing with all the enemies and barely surviving.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
133 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I'm pretty sure (and I hope) that I will have to fight Adam when I'll come back to this game to get the true ending, and I can't wait for it.
Audio

45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Though if you like movies/anime OST definitely check the soundtrack (it's on spotify).

Great touching story, world design, character design, music, challenges and secrets.
