58% of themes are praise17% are divided25% are complaints
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
84 of 209 sampled reviews raised it
A basic formula and minimal aesthetic are balanced out with a good spread of weapons that provide satisfying gunplay.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
43 of 209 sampled reviews raised it
Power-ups and some very nice level design incorporate a number of features that keep gameplay from being dull, even if these feel under-used in places.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
26 of 209 sampled reviews raised it
I had a good time with the guns in the game; many of them are meaningful upgrades to your arsenal as you electrify foes in chains of lighting or use machine guns that are also shotguns to blow them to smithereens.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
23 of 209 sampled reviews raised it
The current game is short, but there is some replayability between Endless Mode and trying to beat the campaign in Havoc difficulty, which is challenging.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
19 of 209 sampled reviews raised it
If you enjoy fast paced fps definitely keep an eye on Herald of Havoc.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
14 of 209 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is amazing, featuring styles from each of the three Quake games it's riffing on.
