Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
I can't speak to the campaign so I wont, but I will say i've purchased this game a few times to get more people into it because it is fun, interesting, difficult, and the art work and audio design is very good.

Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
I think trimming the fat is a necessary aspect of all deckbuilders, but to get a really optimized thing going in this game I feel like you need to trim a lot of it, and if you don't, the whole deck just starts feeling clunky and slow.
