As far as audio goes, the soundtrack is very carefully designed for the game and a neat feature is that certain characters have the ability to see the artist notes about how each song was designed and what thoughts each song was meant to convey.

About graphics and game engine performance, RebRank sure improved a lot since Samidare.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
5 of 77 sampled reviews raised it
Some players say RefRain is more "resource management" (of your special weapons) than dodging, and while somewhat true, being able to dodge well is still an invaluable trait that'll grant greater freedom in deciding when you can unleash your specials for maximum effect.
