42% of themes are praise8% are divided50% are complaints
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
92 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The FPS mechanics feel good; the double-jump feels amazing and is of the highest-quality.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
81 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is full of crude humor and some of the most memorable dialog you can imagine, while also being somehow deep, moving, and epic.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Stranger's Wrath is the most interesting combination of 3rd person platforming and 1st person shooting, merging something like Rare's Banjo-Kazooie with a zany Oddworld take on the 2000's FPS phenomenon kicked off by games like Halo: Combat Evolved.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
[8/10] - Just Add Water's console-to-PC port reawakens the 2005 Xbox release with better visuals, audio, and stability on the PC... for the most part.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio design further strengthens the atmosphere, blending unsettling ambient sounds with a soundtrack that reinforces the game’s mix of frontier grit and surreal unease.
