Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Procedural generation plays a significant role in shaping replayability.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I'm an old school Descent fan and while this has more of a Forsaken look to it with all the colored lighting, it really is it's own thing, and I think it belongs right up there with all the other great 6-DOF games that have come out over the years... not that there are that many.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
It also has co-op and that's a blast with higher difficulty and voice comms of some kind.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The music is also pretty good, it feels retro but still fresh and hand-made for each tileset, and as mentioned with the enemies, the sound design is excellent (I especially like the pulsing pluck of the X-ray laser and the alternating chaos of the Tri/Pentagun).

Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
I really like what this game is doing - among all the talk about the retro FPS renaissance, it is really cool to see someone innovating with an underrated old fashioned genre.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
I wish it also did LAN PvP "deathmatch".
