I literally never died during gameplay, and in hindsight probably should have played on hard difficulty.
Story

170 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you can put up with the stuttering and bugs, you should enjoy the combat and story.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
95 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
However, it didn't bother me as much mid/end game when I had unlocked all fast travel points, jetpack upgrades and weapon modules as this sped things up, made travelling between objectives and combat more enjoyable.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
63 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Despite of good graphics and voice acting, the game doesn't feel like AAA from the very beginning.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
the OST is pretty good, mostly classical tracks but with a good production quality, i had wished for a bit more diversity, like tribal beats or something similiar mixed in between.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The only thing that is good is the music, main character, and graphics.
