It's fast, it's brutal, it's hard, it has some cool cryptic mechanics to discover, it allows you to build your character from many varying pieces you find throughout the game - traits, weapons, powerups, curses.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
69 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Some weapons even use time left to live as ammunition, which is quite neat as well.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
65 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game does not have AAA game soundtrack lengths, but it still does a great job of working with and conveying the general tone of the game.
