This was a replay for me after many years and it's only gotten better.

The visuals, the music, the voice acting, the story... Wonderful.

There is a robust combat system although I did find myself gravitating towards certain weapons. And since Normal Difficulty Player, I appreciated how the levels for story were interesting but not overly taxing. The challenges were fun to engage with but I never felt obligated to do so. I could see they put a lot of effort into systems that would expand the game but I was mainly there for the vibes.

I loved the story-telling method and this is one of the few games where I was content to make decisions without looking things up. You can also see the bones of what the studio will perfect with Hades. I'm excited to try Transistor next to keep seeing their evolution.
