Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 108 sampled reviews raised it
Lots of pretty graphics and animations, which are apparently so good, not only did the developer NOT provide a way to skip those animations, but they actually provide a pop up instruction every time you try, warning you that you must finish watching said animations.
