Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
185 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is fine, but the most enjoyable aspect of the game for me was exploring the facility and different world, the latter of which I do hope the developers plan to add more of in future updates.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
93 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But, with that said, I think the best part of this game's story by far are the mostly novel elements.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
87 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat is lots of fun, and even more-so in optional co-op multiplayer.

With so many different styles of weapons to choose from, you can do your own build which all feel like a valid option.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is very reminiscent of late-90s/early-aughts titles, and is executed very well and with consistent overarching direction throughout the entire game.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Personally I liked the difficulty spike because the game started to feel repetitive, but it seems some people prefer a more easy-going adventure.
