Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
24 of 102 sampled reviews raised it
However, the story is actually fun to follow on your first playthrough.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
23 of 102 sampled reviews raised it
On the exploration front, this is top-tier stuff: it's a pixellated, retro environment that's actually beautiful to look at, conveying a sense of decadence and decay wrapped in XIX-century aesthetics.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
22 of 102 sampled reviews raised it
The models, lighting, effects and sprites, (not you basic zombie sprite), are all top notch.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
22 of 102 sampled reviews raised it
The combat, as you've guessed, is very boomer but it has a lot of complexity to it.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
12 of 102 sampled reviews raised it
Which also, belatedly, reminds me of another major point: despite being EA, the game runs impeccably, with no stutter or crashing.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 102 sampled reviews raised it
Weapons feel powerful and satisfying, with chunky sound design and tight feedback that make encounters visceral.
