Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
39 of 136 sampled reviews raised it
Freaking Meatbags offers a variety of game mechanics to keep the simple idea of defending a base interesting, and deep.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
14 of 136 sampled reviews raised it
Visuals for Freaking Meatbags are well, freaking sweet (see what I did there), conjuring up a menagerie of classic old school with gorgeous pixel art style.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
11 of 136 sampled reviews raised it
A fun little break from other things with a light yet sensible story about a day in the life of a robot employee. (sadly the ending sort of wrecked the whole feel about "no these are my humans and you won't touch them dammit" and in my personal perspective that's a shame, but i see the design choice)
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 136 sampled reviews raised it
Good humor, smooth game play overall, and good soundtrack, but for the lack of replayability and it being on the shorter side of playtime, purchasing it during sale would be better.
