>Comedy gets lost in text. I was doing a big funny by saying confused
Even if it was a joke, it's a mean-spirited and heartless one, and I'd say you're basically doubling down on it with your muddle talk.
>I believe too many fans are just blinded by the good graphics and Shanoa's sex appeal
Why? Not to say the game and its main protagonist aren't pretty, but not only is it more of a bonus, having good aesthetics is just more of CV thing in general. In fact, the groups I usually see that like to bring up how pretty such and such game looks are fans of SoTN, RoB, AoS, and IV, and they occasionally will demean other games for it. I don't know who you've seen or who you talked to, but I and every instance I've seen someone heaping praise on the game talk at length about its game design and gameplay rather than it's graphics, and the people who I do see bring up aesthetics usually do so to point out slightly less anime and more gritty tone in comparison to what we were getting for awhile before it, especially after DoS and PoR.

Shoot, you want to talk about sex appeal, just about every other metroidvania besides maybe CoTM and HoD is worse with a sizable portion of their enemy bestiary basically built for sex, with the aforementioned two games before OoE having out and out succubus-on-girl action.
>Graphics don't make a game good, and I find Shanoa a horrible protag
I'm inclined to agree with the former and think you're barking up the wrong fandom's tree about it. I adore Shanoa as a protag because of her tendency to do good and clean up after the messes of her two organization members despite her Dominus-induced autism, but I can see why someone wouldn't since doing good is typical CV protag behavior and she quite literally does not have a personality or rather a functionally subdued one given actual practice but yeah, so there.

DoS succubi show up as Yoko for literally everyone, including Yoko.
