Gameplay

The result is an accessible system with surprising depth, especially for those who enjoy min-maxing or experimenting with builds.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
33 of 296 sampled reviews raised it
The arenas themselves are compact but thoughtfully arranged, essentially functioning as score-driven combat puzzles.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
33 of 296 sampled reviews raised it
It's a bargain price (even full price of $10 is great) and provides a very unique and fun experience that combines some good FPS challenges with a clever and interesting single-player time-based co-op mode that works extremely well.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
23 of 296 sampled reviews raised it
The presentation, music, visuals - they're all slick and polished making for a great overall package.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
15 of 296 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack leans into electronic rhythms that match the looping, time-bending structure, pushing the action forward without overwhelming it.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
14 of 296 sampled reviews raised it
I want to give a special shout-out to the HUD UI - all of the menus are presented in a sort of helmet-based augmented reality that feels natural and keeps you in the game; it's very clever and I want to give a high-five to whoever on the team came up with it.
