Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.

Now the good: The combat is actually really fun and not terribly complicated.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
107 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game maps are relatively straight and arrow, which given the time I played it is a welcome departure from open world games.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics truly do set a high standard on the store page that this game "looks" amazing, but that's all it is...looks.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The characters had fun quirks and little tidbits of personality, but never really went anywhere (it is the end of the world after all, not many places to go), I played with the JP dub and the voice acting was great in terms of voice range and general performance (I don't think the subtitles match up very well like usual, with these localization liberties)
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I love every character design, everything looks unique and each design compliments each other.
