Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I'm a huge fan of any VR game that manages to give me a workout, while simultaneously distracting me from the fact I'm working out, through polished and well designed gameplay.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Beyond the main levels, there are campaigns like 2089 and Contracts that introduce narrative elements and different types of challenges.

Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
One of the best rhythm games out there, and it's main difference from the competition is just how action-packed it is, thanks to the gunplay mechanics.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Even if you don't like rhythm games, it's still fun to play this as a rail shooter with a licensed soundtrack while ignoring the scoreboard.

Great graphics and music and the gameplay is incredibly fun with unique levels.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
This game definitely makes you feel badass, just make sure not to turn off aim assist, or you might come crashing back down to reality real quick.
