The graphics, writing, and soundtrack were completely on par and even improved in many aspects, I didn't hate this chapter in its entirety by any means!
Combat

21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While I am by no means skilled at the combat system (in fact I would say I suck horribly at it), it remains intuitive and, for the most part, fun, and while the game does progress in difficulty, thankfully, it progresses the difficulty on the mechanics and not just a scaling of the numbers.

14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As a love-letter to childhood nostalgia and an appreciation for trying everything that is possible with 2D graphics, Deltarune really really surprised me.
