The best ones of those keep the story flowing fast and smoothly so you never get bored.

Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

The colour combat mechanic keeps every character useful most of the time: every character and enemy is assigned a colour that is stronger against one colour and weaker against the other, similar to rock-paper-scissors.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
27 of 170 sampled reviews raised it
This is by NO means a bad thing, if anything it makes combat more approachable and so you don't have to guess or memorize the weakness of each enemy.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

Mainly bought this game to be able to understand the second one even better and enjoy it asmuch and I wasn't disapointed in the slightest, rather surprised by how much I was able to immerse myself in the story and listen to the wonderfull soundtrack that played at the same time with just as much enjoyment as for anything else in this wonderfull gem of a game.
