Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
84 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Any more story details will, I feel, take away from your enjoyment, but suffice to say that the writing is quite polished.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The cartoony graphics, kickass soundtrack, and morbidly hilarious story/dialogue are well worth experiencing at least once.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The chiptune soundtrack is also worth talking about, because the songs are extremely catchy and I'll admit, I even headbanged a little bit to the track at the very beginning.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The music might not be to everyone's liking, but it fits the game pretty well and doesn't distract from the gameplay.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Neither mind-numbingly hard nor vapidly easy (actually quite 'goldilocks just-right' in the difficulty department), the game doesn't revolutionized the genre or anything but it DOES tell a fun and interesting story, and for something so low-frills actually has some interesting characters.
