Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
This shouldn't surprise anyone who's familiar with Paul Robertson or Anamanaguchi's work, but both OST and visuals are phenominal, with characters showing amazing amounts of depth and characterisation in their animations, this extends to the environments which are similarly beautiful and varied across areas.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The semi-open world and RPG elements help to vary its occasionally repetitive gameplay loop, and unique bosses and challenges provide even more variation and fun.

Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
Overall though, goated soundtrack, fluent combat feel, plenty of character choices, and some good beat-em up fun.

- The art is amazing, as is the soundtrack.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
- Tribute nailed the Netcode, this game runs smooth with other players online and I didn't experience any slowdowns or lag when I played, this is definitely a massive improvement over the re-release of the first game which suffered through Ubisoft's awful servers and Ubisoft Connect
