Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Thought it was multiplayer but it's not really, it's some weird multiplayer online only thing where you cannot play against your friends for any rewards or anything at all.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay

Super fun and a lot of replayability.

After playing Blaston for more than 300 hours on "Quest 2".
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Servers and matchmaking
Players who bring up Servers and matchmaking mostly praise it.
UPD: with the issue below fixed and removal of getting ELO from bots, matchmaking became much more enjoyable.

Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
It feels a bit like a competitive bullet hell game with FPS and strategy components, I've never played anything quite like it and that's high praise.
