The art is incredible, the gameplay is fluid and fun, the build crafting can be utterly insane by the end of the run.
Combat

Pros - Build variety is good, combat is responsive for the most part, Chinese theme helps it stand out.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The art style is distinct, animations are fluid, visually it's a really nice package that works really well on the Steam Deck and a high end PC.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

Honestly I was rather surprised to hear really good voice-acting for the NPCs and Protagonist, it gives them lots more character, my biggest qualm is that not everything is voiced, but it isn't really a big issue,
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.

The art style is very reminiscent of Okami, very brush styled and it's gorgeous, love the character design, the locations, enemy designs.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As for Steam Deck, it is definitely playable with a huge caveat.
