The references, some I didn't recognize, others had me break out with nerdish pimples and of course, ones that didn't make the lineup :') A lot in terms of replayability; added challenge, more deets to uncover.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
19 of 113 sampled reviews raised it
I like the reverb from sound effects; gunshot, footsteps or enemy growls, hisses(?)...
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
17 of 113 sampled reviews raised it
Rather than chasing modern gaming trends, it delivers an unapologetically old-school experience packed with pixel-art visuals, fast combat, outrageous humor, and a healthy dose of science-fiction horror.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
15 of 113 sampled reviews raised it
Its relatively concise campaign also works in its favor, encouraging multiple playthroughs without demanding an overwhelming time investment.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The developer has done some great work with the pixel art that will satisfy the fans of this style and will bring some nostalgia to old-school gamers.Nice cute pixel graphics,combined with a tone of horror and gore.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
14 of 113 sampled reviews raised it
The learning curve is quite pleasant and I think the game offers more as you dive further into the story.
