Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

It is wonderful that games have become more complex and deeper over the years, but it is also nice that there are "essential" titles that put gameplay first.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
65 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is vibrant, unique and exciting - you really feel like you’re in the underground world of Oresa, like the environment is a character itself and like the progression of battles and rest stops tells a story through gameplay and choices - this is a really hard thing to get right.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
62 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It’s so fun to play a virus deck and figure out how get those virus cards flowing, or play a parry character and get a huge parry in on a boss or play a gunslinger and figure out a broken 6-shot build.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Speaking of, I like the character roster and think the replay-value is high as a result.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I love the art style, the fluidity of the animation, the crispness of the sound design.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Performance has been great for me, and I have enjoyed playing it at my desk, handheld on the Steam Deck, and even streaming to a TV.
