105 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This post credit sequence of gameplay has the game's concepts firing on all cylinders and by the time come to a close with sequel bait, I was begging for more.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
58 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Also your weapons are levelling up and you are unlocking new cool powers (It comes over weird in the story that you randomly unlock new powers though).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The Graphics thanks to the style and can look really great, but sadly the textures mostly look bland.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack on the other hand is really great and done by a real orchestra.
