Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
51 of 164 sampled reviews raised it
Hesitant yes, while the core gameplay is fun and the setting drips in style you'll find your playtime artificially padded by cheap enemy kills.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
30 of 164 sampled reviews raised it
What I also consider to be a great feature of this game is that players can adjust the difficulty of the game.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
21 of 164 sampled reviews raised it
The sound effects and visuals all play a part in the vibe that the game has, and it has a VERY strong sense of design which lends itself well to this vibe.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Spruce up the main character and enemies, add better lighting...when the creepyness wears off it's nice to have a pretty playground.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
11 of 164 sampled reviews raised it
Your enemies become more and more annoying, but you still have the same basic gun (with limited ammo) and melee punches (which are totally a perfect fit for a game where enemies otherwise kill you in a single hit on collision).
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
7 of 164 sampled reviews raised it
We managed to play the game co-op online with a friend using Parsec which worked great.
