88 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Everything, for me, was just absolute fun all the time: I liked a lot the art style, the mechanics, the music --my favorite part of the game--, the boss battles, the extra content, the difficulty settings, the practice mode, the simlistic controls...
Story

78 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It’s a very fun premise and lends itself well to quite a fun narrative.

It is really nice to see all of the old characters returning, now with voice acting and additional personality quirks, plus some seemingly new faces added into the colorful and diverse fray.

Accessibility
Players who bring up Accessibility mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game has really good accessibility features, particularly for reducing the motion of monsters and backgrounds, as well as reducing other VFX and giving you optional “Early” and “Late” feedback for hits (I highly recommend you turn this on).
