The laceration as a game mechanic made this quite interesting to play.

Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
23 of 115 sampled reviews raised it
I think this game is a neatly balanced package: simple story, cool characters; a bit on the short side, but interesting enough gameplay and replay value.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
14 of 115 sampled reviews raised it
The combat and puzzles are merciful, resource scarcity and inventory hell are mild, save points are plentiful, etc.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
12 of 115 sampled reviews raised it
Everything from the nasty contents to the high-class trippy visuals is trashy yet secretly artistic.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 115 sampled reviews raised it
Combat is a LITTLE hit-and-miss, but very meaty when it comes together, with some excellent supporting slow-mo, sound effects and particles.
