<-(Some misinformation that is being spread in some guides and articles are that these upgrade materials are finite. They are not, you can grind them in dungeons or buy them in the game store.) The upgrade system for Romeo himself is very unique and actually requires a bit of thought to get the most early game, which I was super into.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
119 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story is a lot of fun, can be hard to follow, especially a good chunk of the story and the answers are found in memos and notes, but I adored it personally.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
114 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Your weapons have unique heavy hits that delve great damage, for instance you have your main sword, but if you execute its main 3 button heavy attack while holding the third press once its earned, you turn it into a stellar chainsaw(but keeps you standing still, which can be dangerous) that can accrue you a lot of blood for your special attack gauge, I found myself using this a lot.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The graphics are pretty and the game doesn't run so bad thanks to fsr but it has some optimization problems as mentioned.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting is cheesy and sincere in the way a silly action movie with this kind of premise should be.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Oh, and the character design is fantastic, ESPECIALLY the main character and bosses, who don't have the design boundaries that most of the humans in-game do.
