Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
141 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Also, it's not like the core combat mechanics are unfun, because dodging enemies, breaking their guard and punching a nazi robot so hard that it flies into a pillar, shatters and explodes feels amazing - but the game sets itself up mechanically in a way that makes you expect more.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
101 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
To summarize Hellboy: Web of Wyrd won’t be one of the best roguelikes you play, but the charming art comic book art style that so closely resembles the pages of the comic makes it worthwhile just to experience that.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
85 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Take Hades for example, which intertwines a compelling story with a lot of awesome, diverse and interesting hack'n'slash gameplay.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I will say that the voice acting was pretty good with Lance Reddick sounding like he had a fun time playing the main role.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.

A is still dodge (also left hand paddle.) This controller setup really lets me play this game with a rhythm.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.

Also, runs GREAT on the steam deck (just change the resolution to 720p).
