Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
102 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its main mechanic worked solidly and overall, I was left with a strong enough impression of the game that I purchased it on Steam as soon as I had the chance.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The firing weapons and crashing of bodies into furniture is satisfying, so I have no complaints with how the sound was done in MS.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The little voice acting there is (on the enemies) gets the job done and usually sells the AI's behaviour.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Stunning visuals, fluid controls, and nice level design with 18 levels made this a fun play through on an afternoon.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I played through MS with my controller, as the developers recommend, and found them to be responsive and functional.
