Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The story and setting is engaging, weird sci-fi, 70-80's french comics, but tries a bit hard to come off as mysterious, the poetical lore-bits fall kind of flat.
50 of 184 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I think you should experiment and try out the different options, not only do they change the way you play, they also alter the visuals in the game.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
There are background stories on Jib and your companions as the story develops, with rather quick gameplay and a relatively short game with lots of replayability, I will let you discover the rest of the story for yourself.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The music is mostly good, but however I love strange electronic beats, these get jarring after a while, doesn't work well as background music, and blends poorly with the other sound effects, constant bleeping and buzzing.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
The controls are simple and controller is supported.
12 of 184 sampled reviews raised it
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
Enemies and bosses scale well, gameplay is balanced, and on-the-fly customization of weapons and abilities is easy through the simple and intuitive menu system.
