Gameplay

The gravity mechanic is not just a visual gimmick because it completely changes how I move, attack and escape.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The weapon variety is solid, the maps are visually creative, and local co-op with friends is an absolute blast.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I have enjoyed the variety of weapons and the different strategies they require.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The basic 3D visuals still work with the colourful space setting, but the game does not have the polish I would expect from a newer multiplayer shooter.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack, with its electronic and synth-driven style, reinforces the game’s energetic tone, adding to the sense of momentum that defines the experience.
