Graphics

110 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
TL;DR: Awful controls and combat, Amazing soundtrack, Meh graphics at times (Pretty beautiful pixels for most of it), Minor bugs around, Not really replayable despite the game pushing it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
105 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Granted while the game only has five levels including the final one, the levels are generally quite large and require a lot of exploration, and not to mention trial and error, before you can get through them.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I didn't quite understand the narrative, but the story is told beautifully and the atmosphere is great.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The retrofuturistic synth soundtrack and overall sound design are high points for the game as well.
