Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
A lot of more attention directed to the audio and gameplay than the graphics, which are obviously very good, would help this game out tremendously, but I can't recommend it in its current state, even for free, so far.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
To The Core has very nice controls and a very nice, smooth camera which does not interfer with gameplay in any way and feels very intuitive, both with keyboard/mouse and with gamepad, even during combat (which by the way - is very smooth and intuitive, in itself - 'the glove', being a very nice touch and laying the foundation for more - in terms of story)
