My only complaints would be the somewhat lack of a cohesive story campaign, some animations look a bit clunky, and the roster, while vast, sometimes feels like there's room for expansion.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

The main soundtrack is decent, but the 'extra' soundtrack (an assortment of tracks from ARIKA's past fighting games) is fantastic.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

Overall, what really matters is fights feel visceral and exciting, you're flexible in your attacks and responses, and every fight feels fresh even against the same characters at the same difficulty thanks to Gougi.
