Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
cons: there's little replayability beyond wanting the three achievements that need a second playthrough (and two of those can be done on the first playthrough with some help). also, no real story.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
