Story is somewhat predictable, but is still thought provoking and a joy to experience, even for subsequent playthroughs.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.

And it's not the fault of being 2D, see Salt and Sanctuary for great combat and enemies;
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
74 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The audiovisual presentation is immaculate, the heart of the soulslike adventure is executed very well, and there are some cool creative wrinkles that keep the experience feeling fresh rather than derivative.
Audio
