Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
While you won't be playing this for the story - don't get me wrong, there is one, even if it is just a wrapper - you will be playing this for the gameplay, the play styles and the upgrades, which are all interesting and surprisingly refreshing.
115 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
If you like faster-paced FPS and rogue-lite, but do not care too much about story, but like the vibe of the world in the trailers, then go ahead.
90 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The music and art design are both super good and immersive, there just isn't much variety in either.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
It can sometimes be a little tough to read what's going on during all the chaos and action but the more you play you begin to understand how the visuals present themselves.
