Gameplay

17 of 69 sampled reviews raised it
I found the overall playstyle appeasing, but longed for a bit more depth and a bit more difficulty.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
9 of 69 sampled reviews raised it
Lots of enemies and traps, mildly unfair level designs that'll keep you on your toes, different weapons to buy, and everything is crawling with secret bits to find.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 69 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is simple yet great, the controls are great, the difficulty is high, and the joy you experience finding something interesting or completing a difficult level is a great feeling.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
6 of 69 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics worked well for the game, with a few minor exceptions where I would miss an enemy because he would be blending into the background.
