It has a skill tree that is very much so comparable to that of Final Fantasy X's but I find it to have more options.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
24 of 233 sampled reviews raised it
That said, the simple style of the graphics makes it incredibly easy to tell where and what everything is at a glance, making the visuals intuitive and easy on the eyes.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.

Also you can accumulate a ton of scrap to strengthen your favorite weapons and accessories.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
20 of 233 sampled reviews raised it
The characters are animated and have very minor voice acting which is a decent touch but everything else is extremely shoddily crafted.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
18 of 233 sampled reviews raised it
One of the ways this game excels is the level of character customization.
