Story and characters

Nero and V are both atrocious characters for anyone beyond a toddler, they have very little, if any combo potential and are relegated solely to casual players that require strong and basic moves, whilst V is incomprehensible to anyone that hasn't had a detailed look at the moveset to actually be able to pull off a combo, let alone it being a boring gameplay loop to not be the combat character, despite it fitting the narrative they were going for.
Combat

The combat is great even if awkward.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
98 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Instead of doing the same thing over and over, every character has their own mechanics and playstyle, which keeps the gameplay fresh from beginning to end.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Amazing optimisation, my PC is below the recommended requirements, yet on the maximum graphics it ran super smoothly, not once did it lag or stutter.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack deserves a mention too because it fits the action perfectly and makes the fights even more exciting.
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
