Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Sound design is great, picking a shiny items with a sparkly crystal sound or a power up announced by an over the top announcer, blowing things up with nades, zapping MARS people away with the Laser gun, blasting an entire screen with 1 single banging shothun blast, all these satisfying sounds of retro gaming are here, perfectly suiting the visuals.
