Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
- Mouse stutter on linux/proton was terrible, but I found a way to make it better, which may help you and future players, which is to have the fps as high as possible, keep the FPS over like 250 and it's gone and feels smooth.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Skarab, is a wonderful culmination of everything we've seen so far from the studio with top of the line sound design, great art, an amazing setting, fun weapons, and some of their best level designs yet.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The pixel-inspired graphics, bold color palettes, and chunky character designs embrace a retro-modern hybrid style that suits the game’s tone perfectly.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The campaign is short, with most players finishing it in a single session, and replayability depends mostly on wanting to revisit the fluid combat rather than uncovering secrets or branching paths.
