Fun combat where you can use a variety of attacks and spells
Difficulty

This new port of the game does offer more accessibility than previous version of P3 so if you find the change too drastic jumping from P5 to P3, you can adjust the difficulty and exp gain in the settings which is really neat.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Steam Deck support works out of the box, and it seemingly has no issues running at 120FPS when docked.
