Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
There are secrets, new mechanics, huge varieties of gameplay and replay value up the wazoo.
87 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Its not bad if you think about old games which works with hexagraphics or, again, iso-3D-graphics.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
But 20 bucks seemed a little steep for what was clearly a glorified indie title (and being a completionist idiot I'd have to spring for the soundtrack too).
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
As sample, for actually "praising" the cat all out of the weapons in the trailer, it only has very little use only for the Nemesis system which feels also like it could be much more like a PvP "invading" system or like.
