Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
One of the best games I've played within recent years, story is great, the setting/vibe is amazing, characters are all unique and their designs are peak, after 1000 hours combined on all platforms, with roughly 600 on PlayStation, and 400 on Xbox. and now almost 100 on steam its time for a review with the 2nd anniversary.

Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
one thing to highlight is its combat, perfect dodges and parrying feels amazing, the mechanics feel great with all the different character and types all characters are unique in their own ways with 'anomaly' types freezing or burning enemy's, or just raw dps 'attack' types, seeing the damage numbers from building characters also is super satisfying

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.

On top of that, in the 3.0 version they added ray tracing and AI upscalers like DLSS and FSR.
