Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The controls are so simple yet addicting which makes for simple "brain dead" gameplay with all of the satisfaction and the art style is beautiful.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
It features a very similar and clearing inspired boon system to Hades, and the gods actually have quite charming novice voice acting.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
They also have an equipment aspect like an Arpg (with certain equipment only working for certain classes, others are open to all, etc), and the equipment carries over between Runs and you can always find better loot like any Arpg and consistently improve your Armor, Weapons, and other Equipment, etc.
