Story

I thought it was a very good route that served the story well, but I understand a lot of people play this as a waifu game, and in this category it's lacking.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
81 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Also, upgrades and purchases now have separate currencies, which makes customization significantly more interesting.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
67 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is even better and as been improved so it should run faster then MoA.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The improvement in voice acting played a part in this, for sure, but each major character in the Sunrider provide their own unique charm on and off the battlefield.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While the new CG's were for the most part pretty good, the character models used for the more visual novel parts of the game have a very blatant faux-manga appearance (this isn't an insult, it justs classier than saying, "Not-drawn-by-a-Japanese-artist visuals") that just doesn't look good in my opinion.
