Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
140 of 293 sampled reviews raised it
The 4ish hours it takes to complete the campaign are very good, and the game does have a proper ending and a good pacing, but the lack of a "horde" mode, or a mission editor hurts the replayability and therefore the value of the game.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
86 of 293 sampled reviews raised it
And that`s sad, because I would probably spend hours playing those modes if they were there, I just really liked the gameplay.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

Music and Sound design: The music is awesome, one of the best soundtracks I`ve heard in a game recently.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
25 of 293 sampled reviews raised it
Really awesome game with quite a few surprises up its sleeve - awesome voice controls, interesting plot, great acting, impressive art/visuals, amazing soundtrack, albeit short!
