There wasn't an instance in combat that I felt the deaths were unfair, they all felt like I just had a skill issue.

Exploration was an absolute treat, as it should be for a Castlevania title.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
86 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
She's naive and cocky at the start, gets taken down a peg at the end of the first act, and grows into a wonderful character by the end (especially if you do the true ending).
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

difficulty complaints are a joke. the game has extensive difficulty settings: you can customize everything from damage received to damage dealt to respawning right in front of a boss to retry the fight. either adapt to the game or customize it to your skill/liking, no one cares. it's that simple.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
73 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art and voice acting are great, the music is catchy and the gameplay is fun.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
66 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Thankfully, my worries were for nothing because the art style is BEAUTIFUL!
