Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Satisfyingly responsive controls across the board, none of the characters I've tried felt like garbage to control, though a few characters seemed to have some relatively overtuned gimmicks, such as Nightmare's critical edge - though nothing in this game is without a counter, at least at low to mid levels of play.

+The combat gameplay is very intuitive, at first I charged head on into battles and could play easily on keyboard since the buttons are all in one place and there is nothing complex.
