Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The art might give you that impression, and there is some fan-service, but I dare say the best qualities about HN are the characters and writing.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The cast of Neptunia is great, and the voice-acting (both ENG & JPN) is very well-done.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Now, reusing dungeon textures isn't as bad a problem as reusing enemy sprites, but reusing dungeon LAYOUTS is even worse.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
I can't really say much about keyboard mouse support since I use a controller.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Monetization
Players who bring up Monetization mostly praise it.
In addition, the DLCs are pretty well priced in my opinion, without being game breaking but still adding to gameplay.
