The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
It has very nice-looking graphics, an amazing soundtrack, and a story that is compelling, but stays out of the way of the gameplay.
It is definitely one of the best local co-op games I know of, and is still fun to play solo.

The story itself is wholly superfluous to be sure, because with a shmup we all know gameplay is truly the cornerstone of the experience, but I found it to be a nice touch nonetheless and there is a decent amount of skippable text which can be read by those seeking to capture the full essence of Jamestown.
The way local multiplayer works makes it fun because you can revive each other.

Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and is not shown.
