Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
91 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In fact, a major benefit the totems bring to gameplay is an element of strategy that Isaac typically lacks.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The lighting effects are very neat, although after a while they became tiresome for me because they do make gameplay harder.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visual design, as well as the sound design, do wonders for making the game appealing and lighthearted, the plot more of a campy, light fantasy danger sort of justification for the game's real strength.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Controls: Decent, features mouse and controller support, but the controller analog sensitivity is too high, needs a activation threshhold.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I just love the first soundtrack, makes me feel like playing a Ps1 Rpg game.
