Laura Shigihara has again meticulously crafted a soundtrack that perfectly sets the scene (while a couple tracks are effectively reused from Rakuen, they're still used in effective ways).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics/sound: 10/10 - As with Rakuen, another exceptional job with sprites, character designs, and also cutscenes (yes, there are a couple major cutscenes in this one).
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
No attempts to rope you into a long grind or deprive you of other aspects in life.
