Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Small details like this make the gameplay feel smooth and flexible rather than stiff.
97 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
If the graphics were pushed even further, I honestly think it could be considered a full AAA title.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The game has so many fun and goofy weapons to try out and a few of them reference other games, so you could play the game with movesets inspired/taken directly from those characters.

Oh, and the soundtrack is brilliant!

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
only bad part that i can mention is just difficulty that is great for me but sometimes just makes you rage quit, also a huuge plus for me is controller play , only cause i can play it so easy and comfortable with controller i launch it 80% of times when i watch some video with it (people with solo monitor will understand me pain of playing with mouse)
