Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
39 of 173 sampled reviews raised it
The best part of Portal 2 was the co-op mode, for instance, since it took the established gameplay and spun it into something fresh with a reliance on teamwork.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
31 of 173 sampled reviews raised it
PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate combines Shooter 1 and 2 in this nice pack of graphic update where you can choose between classic, vector-looking PixelJunk style, and ultimate style with remastered graphics that can run in 60 FPS (if your PC specs are decent enough).
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
26 of 173 sampled reviews raised it
I think the joys of good co-op often get overlooked in this age of widespread multiplayer deathmatches.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
22 of 173 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack complements the visual tone with ambient electronic compositions that ebb and flow with the action.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
10 of 173 sampled reviews raised it
The gradual escalation of difficulty keeps the experience challenging without feeling unfair, giving players a tangible sense of mastery over both their ship and the world’s physics.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
8 of 173 sampled reviews raised it
Controls are simple and responsive, too - I can finish only with mouse and keyboard, although controller seems to be the most recommended since the control tips are for controller user.
