115 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I died a few times, but it wasn't frustrating because checkpoints are very frequent and I could get back to the game pretty quickly.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
81 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty is challenging but fair, although I've only played on the normal difficulty so far so I can't comment on the higher levels.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
65 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Speaking of the story, it is simple, silly, and kind of touching at the end.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Rather than focusing heavily on storytelling, the game prioritizes gameplay, allowing its energetic combat and creative boss battles to take center stage.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The controls are precise, fluid and simple with the choice between keyboard controls and gamepad controllers (the XBOX 360 controller apparantly has official support, but I only used keyboard controls myself).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Visually, Bleed adopts a colorful pixel-art style that perfectly suits its energetic gameplay.
