Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
It's certainly worth it at a sub-$10 price point, and I had fun chasing the find-all-the-things achievement and the multiple ending paths.
81 of 291 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It's a worthy remake, and definitely takes the gameplay concept in some new and interesting directions.
49 of 291 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Its dieselpunk aesthetic — portrayed through rugged machinery, metallic textures, and the eerie quiet of underground caverns — helps create a distinct mood.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
The controls are great(I used a controller), it has a lot of cool items to buy from the shop, a very large amount of upgrades, modifiers and perks that you research progress for by finding parts while mining that you can equip and un-equip which makes for many different possible strategical approaches.
