Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I bought ANNIE for full price after seeing its trailer, hoping that it didn't show an overly-glossed series of gameplay sections that I didn't encounter in the actual game itself.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
ANNIE mixes up its action often with cool enemy variety, hulking bosses that take up a large swath of the screen, nice impactful sound effects and an overall chaotic world that is fun to mash through from start to finish.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
The gun play with a controller was very smooth, the dodging and all around movement is good for the pace of the game.
