Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
Given how rare it is to find FPS Metroidvanias, and how the Metroid Prime series takes a vastly different scan-everything-and-read approach to world-building and atmosphere, Frogmonster stands out in its ability to deliver information and emotion to the player.
107 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
So, I got around halfway through I guess, I also didn't finish it (just as with Animal Well where I only played the first ending and Nioh which I quit after the Credits for the main Game were rolling) because the frustration meter was too high.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
At least some bosses were kind of fun and getting new abilites and the feeling of progression is also nice
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphical style is what I can best describe as "3D pixel" look, and graphics are not the only thing in Frogmonster to hold a retro ideal.
