Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I enjoyed the game despite the SECRET ACHIEVEMENT being grindy, boring and worth of 24 hours idle time (no joke) beside that the game is extra fun and i recommend it to anyone who like action typed games.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The overall quality (technical issue aside) can be seen throughout, from the eye-popping gorgeous graphics, energetic music & effects to the little refinements like being able to press 'X' straight after your last life to restart level instantly (no menus needed).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound: Good – Dimensions has that familiar but revamped techno thumping sound track, though the sound effects of picking up Geoms gets a little old after a while.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Other noteworthy features include 12 battle modes including Pacifism, King, Claustrophobia and 4 all-new modes, but also the local co-op.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
To end it on a positive note, the Dualshock 3 PS3 controller I use actually does not require SCP server to disguise it as an Xbox controller for me to play, that's a plus for me, so I don't have to worry if I accidentally forgot to turn it on. :]
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you play on a docked 4k - then unplug the deck- the game continues to play SHARP and full resolution for the steam deck native screen res!
