Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Definitely a fun romp with great visual style, absurdist humor, forgettable story and simple, but compelling gameplay.
119 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The amazing graphics style might not be liked by everyone but delivers a feeling as close as possible to a comic book adventure, with also detailed effects, clean visuals, good animations.

Performance

People in love with immersive-sim (especially, System Shock or Prey) or fans of roguelite FPS shouldn't skip this gem.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
You can easily tell what each sound is after a couple of hours of gameplay, and the game features stellar voice acting and some really advanced audio processing for such a simple game.
