Gameplay

To me it's the former, as I very much appreciate more challenge in these types of games since so many of them are easily solved by way of overt meta progression or outright broken builds.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
And because it has a nice balance to the in-run progression and rogue-like play - this a game that is easy to come back to and just play a run (no grand story to remember, no advanced combo move system to remember, plenty of imperfect builds that are good enough to work, plenty of variety).

The game recommends using a controller, and this is how I play.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
- Music/Sound effects: 7 out of 10 Sound effects where good however the music was nothing special which makes it lacking to me.
