Gameplay

This game is a great dungeon-crawler with a unique pinball mechanics that should not deter you from playing it.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Art Style it's just stunning, beautiful, yet ( surprisingly, having in mind the simplistic contrasted style of the game ) Immersive as hell.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
42 of 243 sampled reviews raised it
There’s nothing wrong with the story at all, it sets a good premise and clarifies the protagonist’s purpose very well, but if the entire game was a meal, the story would be the salad.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
24 of 243 sampled reviews raised it
Wasn't really feeling it much at first since I had such a hard time aiming, however once I got more weapons it got so much easier to line up shots (and thereby more fun), opposed to just flailing wildly and hoping something hits.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 243 sampled reviews raised it
On top of that, the cel-shaded graphics, color palette, music and sound design make this an awesome aesthetic experience.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
13 of 243 sampled reviews raised it
Also, a controller is a must; I can't imagine playing this with a keyboard.
