everything from the art and music to the gameplay and character design is insanely good and well thought of. the sounds of the characters are just amazing they add so much personality to the character. the map and the progression of the game and lore are implemented perfectly.
Difficulty

23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it

The sound effects from attacking enemies, or getting a kill, suits the game well.
