Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

Speaking of points, this game also has a still-moderately-unique method of handling checkpoints - collect enough points (rather, blood), and you'll be able to place a checkpoint, which will also recover lost health; having this checkpoint ready doubles your point rewards in most cases, incentivizing sparing use in order to get the high end-of-level ranks.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
17 of 194 sampled reviews raised it
In addition to its challenging single-player campaign, "They Bleed Pixels" also features a variety of additional content, including bonus levels and challenge modes that offer even more ways to test your skills.

Plenty of the visuals and what little written dialogue there is pulls from classic horror, from Edgar Allan Poe to renowned Welshman-hater H.P.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
14 of 194 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack, composed with unconventional electronic instrumentation, adds a constant undercurrent of unease without becoming distracting.
