Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

I like this as you can tailor the perks to help your playstyle, such as choosing weapons, or focusing on a pacifist multiplier, or if trying a very hard difficulty, adding more lives in.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There has been a huge overhaul of the game's graphics compared to its predecessor, with gorgeous looking lighting effects, including new explosion graphics.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I personally found my sweet spot on the Apocalyptic/Zen difficulty, which seems to be the in the top 3 or 2 most difficulty, respectively.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
More ships more weapons, more bosses, bigger visuals, improved sound effects, and more accessibility to ANY music playing on your system...
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's also fun starting back at square one, and unlocking everything again, perk unlocks are very frequent, and it won't take long before you get your favorite weapons back, and unlock some new ones to see what you think of them, and settle on your ideal load out since you can only use 4 special weapons at a time.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Or you just want a couch coop fun, you can play on a Party mode and blast through the galaxy together.
