Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
100 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
After 69 hours i can say that this game rocks, some of the most refined mechanics and controls I've ever experienced in any video game, all the little game modes are a fun distraction from the main game loop as well as having some pretty difficult ones to get a platinum medal, i was stuck on the Christmas level for a solid week and it was so satisfying once i beat it.

I'm a huge fan of unforgiving platformers and roguelikes, and this game serves as the perfect fusion of the two genres.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
White Knuckle has the best PSX inspired art style I've ever seen (in my opinion of course).
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I am in awe with how the story has progressed and I dont think I will ever truly uninstall the game especially as it is constantly growing.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound design is impeccable there is not much to add here, the audio in this game just wants to immerse you in its world and it does that really well, the background and noises set the mood for every zone you are in and everything just feels so fitting.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
4 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Yes there are weapons and combat, very satisfying combat I might add.
