Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
Surprisingly great controller setup, weapons feel visceral, it never gets old clearing a room with a shotgun and hearing the gibbing and seeing body parts fly across the room.

Interface

Has a system to encourage making a build for a character through a very limited inventory and weapon/armor slots, along with a modding system giving a lot of variety.
