Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
98 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Simple (but charming) graphics enable an enormous variety of tactical gameplay without inflating the development budget, but the truth is, maintaining perfect control of a mission never lasts for long.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A nice blend of a simpler aesthetic with solid core gameplay, it offers players multiple paths to complete objectives without overtly favoring any of them, and while difficulty can be punishing it's also varied and rewarding... most of the time.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And all of this doesn't even cover the lore, the characters, the art, the music, and everything else, which are all just as great.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You get access to a good number of tools/weapons to take on various challenges that when used skillfully can make you pull off some crazy stunts.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game's art style is minimalist yet effective, with clean lines and a limited color palette that enhances readability and focuses attention on the action.
