I think faster animations with a more soulslike block/parry system would complement the game quite nicely in this regard.

There is some interesting dialogue with some NPC's, from making deals to just world building.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
14 of 250 sampled reviews raised it
Fast movement game with an eery and tense soundtrack, betting on a creative low-poly dark atmosphere and a cool scavenger assassin.

12 of 250 sampled reviews raised it
The second act is a masterful puzzler that hits you with wall of difficulty until you realize the solution has been right in front of you the whole time.
