Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Beautiful visual representations of environments and characters we all know and love are coupled with amazing leitmotifs of said characters, and when this excellent mastery of the artistic side of an excellent game meets challenging (but generally fair) gameplay?

For a fan game, these graphics are definitely on par with some other better known titles out there (in my opinion, at least).
