Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Aspects that appeal to me: Randomly generated levels, progressive game (note it’s not character progression -- you unlock features of the game as you play).
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I have all graphics turned up as high as possible and get a solid 60 FPS (HD 7950).
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The sound design is pretty smooth though and the art & voice design is alright.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
I've played with both the keyboard&mouse and a controller, and this is one of the few games where I actually prefer the keyboard&mouse combo, but this is a matter of preference.
