Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
-single player experience: if you played the extra or extella line of games the story telling method should be very familiar and the plot should come to you relatively easy.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
EXP gain is tailored near perfectly for story progression and I never once went into a mission and felt like I was underleveled.
87 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
It can be smoothed out dramatically, but requires tinkering with settings and possibly even graphics driver settings to get things to relax.

Monetization
Players who bring up Monetization mostly praise it.
-content load: okay so for a while there were costume dlc being made for the game which initially gave i and many others the impression more was coming to the game in the form of characters, paid dlc map packs, etc. and that we may get balance updates. nope. what you see in the costumes is still available afaik and does give you unique 2d sprites that come on screen when you use NP, overcharge, etc. but aside from that, they do nothing. for those coming from fgo, no, bikini scatach does not make her an assassin. yes, im dissapointed too. still the dlc is nice and if you enjoy attractive anime chars, by all means. i will stop talking about dlc and talk about the actual CONTENT LOAD of the game. it is a p repetitive hack and slasher in the context of its single player gameplay but does offer a good amount of content to placate. in terms of multiplayer, it has a really nice amount of variance and content that when played with a full lobby of people can lead to really funny and wacky moments (mostly breaking the game but i digress) and can be a really great and wholesome experience despite its aformentioned short comings.
