Story and characters

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
This is basically an interactive 3DCGI anime, so if that's your kind of thing and you enjoy match-3 gameplay, this is an amazing deal for it's price.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics are now 3DCGI and feel like watching an actual anime during the cutscenes.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack is pretty chill, doesn't get tiring too fast, and as opposed to the original Mirror - more modern-sounding as they're going with a sci-fi theme instead of the genre mess the first Mirror had.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
This adds a layer of tactical consideration, as players must think beyond simple score optimization and instead plan moves based on the situation at hand.
4 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
The new 3D graphics give it a more polished and modern feel, the difficulty is more or less the same as the original.
