Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
79 of 211 sampled reviews raised it
The strongest aspect of the story, in my opinion, are the characters.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
54 of 211 sampled reviews raised it
It is mega handy for boss fights and can even be upgraded using a special currency to increase its effectiveness – an excellent change to an already excellent combat system.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
46 of 211 sampled reviews raised it
It feels like a proper affinity chart/network of people - each character and interaction actually feels like you are accomplishing something tangible within the world, instead of just being 500 tedious quests with randoms and grindy repeated tasks that you'll forget instantly (although I still remember you, Nozomi Hara and your double poison).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
44 of 211 sampled reviews raised it
But this is still a pretty high effort game and it has such cool features as completely seamless battle transitions and a really amazing dynamic soundtrack.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
14 of 211 sampled reviews raised it
-Character design, development, and interactions between characters are still just as engaging (Something I appreciated in Overdose)
