Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
165 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Engrossing story, amazing music (that final boss battle music was delicious!), much improved VA over Spiders' previous titles, an expansive upgrade and progression system, and a fairly challenging combat system come together to form a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
149 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The skill tree is good and you do feel your abilities improve as you play through the game, and combat while basic feels fluid and enjoyable.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
120 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The mix of Eastern and Western gameplay styles Spiders has achieved with their Mars games is really enjoyable.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

The Technomancer is a bit hard to categorize for me on Steam... because it starts well, the graphics are alright and there are some area which is really good looking.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Character customization is also pretty good and flexible, though not very unique.
