The air attack transitioning into a down-stab is great, and it all lends into a patient playstyle that reinforces the puzzle-like approach to the entire game.

The big sword feels heavy and I liked getting better at combat through timing and precision.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
36 of 116 sampled reviews raised it
I came for a game about using a Buster Sword, and stayed for the rather deep story lore and heartfelt tale about an owlman adopting a human.
Audio

Decent narrative and excellent audio/visuals make this game immediately captivating. ..captivating in the same way that the sound work in games like Links Awakening was.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
11 of 116 sampled reviews raised it
The Bosses have been fun and smartly designed and the difficulty seems spot on so far.
