Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
10 of 45 sampled reviews raised it
Multiple characters with each their own playstyle and tools, a scoring system that rewards grazing and a unique scoring meta that pushes early/mid-game speedrunning followed by last boss milking for a cool game feel and a pretty crazy pacing that accidentally works wonders.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
9 of 45 sampled reviews raised it
Each character brings their own background, dialogue, and motivations, giving the story more texture than many shooters of its era.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
7 of 45 sampled reviews raised it
But the weapons here go beyond that and it makes playing as a new character feel like learning a new game in a way.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
7 of 45 sampled reviews raised it
The roster of six playable characters expands the game’s depth even further.
