Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
It looks great, the soundtrack is not quite memorable but is strangely fitting, sounds a bit like if Megaman was composed by Tim Burton, and the controls are really responsive.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
Once I got used to the button layout on the controller I realized the controls are perfectly responsive, and the character is very manueverable with the jump and dash abilities functioning on point.
