Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

This addition expands replayability with four bonus levels, additional difficulty choices, and an arcade-oriented mode built around achieving high scores.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is great, the gameplay is good, and it does exactly what it should.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its combination of stealth, physical interaction, dark humor, science-fiction satire, and sudden bursts of combat gives it an identity that remains easy to recognize among VR titles.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Don't get me wrong, the concept of a stealth game filled with robots, fun and colorful graphics (which are similar to games like vacation/job sim which I like) is appealing, but certainly not without a price.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It’s relatively short and the levels all look very similar which can be disorientating, but otherwise it’s a great game with some replayability by getting creative with tactics or mutators, or just by turn the difficulty up to challenge yourself.
