You aren't overwhelmed with new weapons and armor, quite the contrary I found very little of those upgrades throughout my sessions thus far, but I really like that aspect.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 58 sampled reviews raised it
Deep combat, tight controls, beutifully-colorful pixel art with dynamic lighting, and item-borne lore.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.

ALSO I Highly recommend a controller for this game, if you want to play it with a keyboard you'll suffer because its mainly a controller game, although you can edit all buttons I still recommend a controller.
