Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The visual presentation is outstanding, not just in the general art style, but throughout the UI, cutscene presentation, how well it fits with the music, and all sorts of little touches.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
Everyone in the reviews and discussions are saying that a controller is the easier way to play it but I feel like if you have a history in playing osu!, you'll feel right at home playing on Mouse and Keyboard.

While this is an obvious win for accessibility it ends up hampering the pacing of the game.
