Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay - 7/10: The combat is pretty dope, the powers are pretty dope (except for the water ones, hate those powers) and you can get pretty creative with combos and when you fully upgrade them, they feel really powerful and that's SUPER important to me

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Apart from some technical issues like textures not popping in and the absolute horrific AMDFidelityFX AO (CACAO/Caca) the game looks pretty nice.
