Except being very cultured, some characters got interesting personalities and backstories, Some were treated better (Hugo, Miyabi) and some worse (Nekomata...).
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
122 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
On top of that you get pretty decent story, main story is nothing spectacular, but it does its job well - builds a world where a lot of great, well-written characters fit in.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
121 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If u like games with fast paced, engaging combat where you need to react to enemy moves, know combos and what each skill does it is a great game.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Theres neuro drum and bass, some hardcore-ish/industrial techno vibes, dub techno too, color bass, deathstep, some more chill things.... its an alltimer of a soundtrack for me.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
An intriguing plot, a roster of fascinating characters with unique designs the likes of which we hadn't seen before.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals are stunning, the sound effects are more than satisfying, the voice acting is great, and I'm still mind-blown by some of the story cutscenes.
