Gameplay

In many ways, this creates a ton of replayability: you'll have a long-term objective of discovering new items to fill out your Ammonomicon, but you ALSO get runs that can feel quite different because of the many different weapons and items you can use, some of which even have special combos to discover!
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The second obvious major strength of this game, is the absolutely HUMONGOUS variety of items and weapons to choose from.
Difficulty

40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty is absolutely brutal in the best way: unforgiving, fast, and demanding, but never pointless.
Story

Even though each run resets, the game has a satisfying progressive storyline built around the different Gungeoneers, their pasts, and the quest to reach the gun that can kill the past.
