Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
54 of 295 sampled reviews raised it
From the textures to the 3D models and weapons, the artistry on display across all episodes is nothing short of amazing, and all of the monsters are animated beautifully.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
33 of 295 sampled reviews raised it
It really is too bad because the game's iconic gameplay element of shooting an enemy's limbs off is actually really fun and easily its most stand-out feature.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
32 of 295 sampled reviews raised it
The atmosphere, both from the visuals and the music, makes them fun to explore and the lighting is particularly gorgeous.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
18 of 295 sampled reviews raised it
The last positive thing I'll mention is the soundtrack, which is very appropriate and atmospheric without being too bombastic.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
18 of 295 sampled reviews raised it
This environmental storytelling helps maintain immersion even when the narrative itself takes a back seat to the action.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
14 of 295 sampled reviews raised it
This isn't to say they're bad however, they generally flow well and aside from a few moments of poor design hold up as well as a good 90's FPS level should.
