I found the characters to be really charming and the script is very funny. (the funniest love triangle in history imo if you know you know).

Hidden mechanics aside, I thought the difficulty curve was tuned reasonably well - there were some truly challenging moments, but nothing felt too frustrating.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
17 of 74 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is fun and the weapon types are all unique and interesting but my favorite bit by far is the platforming.

Also the final dungeon music is an absolute delight, honestly hope that they release the OST some day!

The FMV cutscenes call back to an early computer graphics style that I haven't seen much of anywhere else and I love it.
