Gameplay

If you're going to pick this game up, I highly recommend getting charge shot 3 and all Exceed related abilities with Nero ASAP, as that's the core of his gameplay.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
74 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Overall the combat is just smooth stylish and pretty fun, some enemies can be a little frustrating at times but as you improve and as you learn what tools each character has against each enemy the combat only becomes better.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
71 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Nero himself was an addition to the cast that I quite liked - his personality fits and clashes perfectly with the story and other characters, especially Dante and The Order of The Sword, and makes for an interesting dynamic.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.

I also liked the character design for Echidna who was a plant snake type of boss.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But to end on a good side, I did like these things about the game - soundtrack, combat, balanced difficulty (maybe bit too easy in some places but its ok), overall design and graphics, interesting variety of enemies.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals still hold up well, the soundtrack fits the action perfectly, but unfortunately, the bosses are not as challenging.
