Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Serious Sam: Tormental is another spin-off of the Serious Sam franchise; It's a 3D roguelike with low-poly graphics that's quite fun with good mechanics.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
I am crossing my fingers we'll get more music in the future but more importantly a downloadable soundtrack we can purchase.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
I also want to mention that the controller support for this game is fantastic, so if you are like me and enjoy playing shooters/rogues with a controller, you're in for a real treat with Serious Sam: Tormental.
