Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I don’t even wanna mention the mess that Pokeyman has turned into, but Digimon Time Stranger might’ve just dethroned it — gameplay, story, voice acting, straight-up fun — all of it.

The Animations and Textures look very well done.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Music is good (Especially the different Boss Music themes), and a nifty little function to choose another music track to run if you don't like the current one playing.

Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
Also, worth noting, it was not compatible with ultra-wide so I had to play on the Steam Deck, as it would crash frequently on my PC.
