Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
94 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Oftentimes rooms will just be packed full of basic enemies, and if you're not wearing the life sensor, military camo, or stealth suit, your reward for exploration will be "die, idiot." Other times, massive swathes of the level will be completely unpopulated, making for a dead-easy run to your target unless you feel inclined to make your life harder for no reason.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A game that's reputation may be funny memes and crazy textures, but that's so, so much more than that.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
All the weapons feel unique enough, to a degree you feel like Mr.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The message of this game is as well passed around as Receiver 2, i highly reccomend both and Cruelty Squad is actually better in both gameplay and story.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The "dynamic difficulty," if you can call it that, is a good example of this.
