Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
It's an absolutely perfect moment; It's this beautiful merging of my two favorite aspects of the game, those being the wonderful soundtrack by Japanese Breakfast and the fantastic graphic-novel-esque visuals.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
You can take on riskier climbs for collectibles, which I recommend because a lot of the mandatory platforming can be too easy.
