Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Denshattack was somewhat of an impulse purchase of mine after I saw something like 5 minutes of gameplay from one of the creators they put in as bonus content and for marketing (so I have to admit that advertising worked on me, and now I get to have a victorian child tell me I am John Denshattack, which is peak)

The voice acting was also 10/10 and made all the characters even better.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
It simply feels ridiculously fun to play, on the controller you don't need to memorise tricks because you get a feel for the right stick motions after a while.
