Gameplay

The soundtrack is punchy, the pixel art is really detailed and stimulating, the enemies are quirky and varied, and the gameplay is varied and exciting.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's got loads of fun, a cool art style, and a fantastic soundtrack.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

If you ignore the bickering from teenage right-libertarians with their unfounded confidence and very limited understanding of the workers movement, socialism, history and politics ("mAsS STARvatIon DLC whEN?!"), what you get here is a very enjoyable, casual game with fun gameplay, decent art style and a lot of humour.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Personally I thought it was worth it for the gameplay, amazing art and soundtrack, and ofc to support a co-op game studio, this game and PPU51 (the game studio) are an inspiration to aspiring game dev leftists like me.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I will admit that it could be better, would've been nice to have more levels/ worlds, and it might've benefited from more of a difficulty curve, but honestly I found it really satisfying.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game has a perfect ludo-narrative synchronicity because you don't play as a "chosen hero" like in most other games, but rather as an entire riot crowd.
