I liked the story in this game; it is on par with V for cohesiveness and believability.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
68 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Some animations could be improved, and unit customization could be deeper, but it is a great game worth getting if you're into the genre.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For the good, this game has a true difficulty now, where even late in the campaign, your units can get one-shot by some of the special bosses.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.

Ignore the complainers, this is a good game, and honestly better than 30. feels more like classic SRW games, better difficulty balance, roster works decent, no one unit feels so overpowered out the gate like 30 (Gridman......) story is more cohesive, character interactions are better.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story is fun, gameplay is not too difficult but also not too easy, and the soundtrack is amazing (Granted you buy the premium soundtrack for the tracks including lyrics.) Great game for hours of fun granted you're a fan of mecha and or strategy games.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I'd buy the OGs all over again to play on Steam Deck.
