Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
47 of 103 sampled reviews raised it
Also, there's great customization options: You can change how flight feels, how the entire station looks, as well as adjusting game speed, weapon damage or bot intelligence.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
26 of 103 sampled reviews raised it
All of the weapons use your energy for ammo, but the results don't feel balanced into meaninglessness like in Retrovirus.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
15 of 103 sampled reviews raised it
Despite the open-ended form of gameplay, NeonXSZ is ridiculously easy to get into for players of any skill level thanks to an approachable and flexible learning curve.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 103 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics are nicely done, has a Tron-esque feel to it all, and at least running on Nvidia GTX 660 (Linux), getting steady 60FPS with smooth rendering, so should run on low-end boxes well enough.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
7 of 103 sampled reviews raised it
But to be fair, they did spend a lot of time to optimize the CPU side already and it still runs at a good frame rate with those setting changes.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 103 sampled reviews raised it
In general the sound design to me is very engrossing with its muffled sound effects and outside explosions giving you the feeling of truly being inside the cockpit.
