Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
It's simple, you have 2 characters at the start, each comes with mostly different abilities and you get more characters as you progress in the game.
46 of 102 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay: 3.5 - As much as I like the gameplay, it isn't for everyone and I feel the game could have been better optimized as I noticed some major stuttering during some of the mini games.
24 of 102 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
A lot better voice acting (in some cases)
11 of 102 sampled reviews raised it
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
Lack of Steam Deck support: The first game had immediate Steam Deck support, so there's no excuse as to why this game didn't have it day one, or at least have it by now.
