The gameplay is fast and keeps you on your toes even with a high level gun with a powerful mod to boot, level design is great fun and beautifully imagined.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style they've employed for them is great, it's not graphically intensive and it doesn't need to be as they are often dead by the time you've got close enough to look at the paintwork and sometimes it gets so overwhelmingly full of things trying to kill you that lag spikes can occur if you really are dishing out the punishment.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I get smooth frames, well over 60, no stuttering or anything to that effect, and yet after usually about 20 minutes or so, I become nauseated to the point that I have to stop.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack isn’t one of my favorites, but it does a good job setting a different tone for each chapter/area.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a great game to just chill with a controller and run n gun through hundreds of crazy enemies and defenses, die, fight crazy huge and scary bosses, die, unlock crazy new weapons, die, find loads of secrets, then win after a more deaths.
