Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
64 of 279 sampled reviews raised it
The personal struggle of a lot of these characters leads to them being rather self-centered and give Nika a good incentive to rain death on them all, which is just a great story to depress you.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
37 of 279 sampled reviews raised it
Also, the story tries to be dark in bits by either cursing or having “adult” content and it’s an interesting in theory because the art style is super cute (pour one out for juxtaposition).
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
31 of 279 sampled reviews raised it
With her whole "i want to destroy the world" spiel you expect her to hate every character but she gets along well with a mechanic and a lonely kid who worships(?) meat.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
12 of 279 sampled reviews raised it
The whole game is laid out in such a way that nothing feels too difficult or repetitive.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 279 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack and sound effects further enhance the offbeat tone, using light, whimsical melodies to accompany moments that are often disturbingly bleak or absurd.
