This game is just barely fine. It doesn't really do anything well, its janky, it doesn't use its mechanics to their fullest, has low enemy variety, the story is bland, and in general is unpolished. It's reasonably short playtime stops it from outstaying its welcome I suppose. I guess this is why I've never heard anyone talk about this, far from the worst thing I've played but there are so many better action/hack n slash titles on the PS2.
