Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I really like exploring the levels to find all the hidden Easter Eggs like Finding Gman in his House and interacting with him
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The weapons feel great, the atmosphere of the levels is quite different from one another so this keeps things fresh, and there are a lot of cool secrets and interactible objects in the levels that have cool cutscenes or funny moments attached to them.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It helps the voice acting hilarious as it is cheesy, making the tone of the game perfect.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Really good/funny narrative, kick ass guns, great humor, not to mention a REASON to keep playing because of the crypto destroying aspect which a lot of these games just don't justify a reason to the majority of the time.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
All enviroments are gorgeous, the pixelated textures only making everything look better!
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Even then I've been quite surprised by how stable it is and how well it runs, beyond some UI elements from the main menu being a bit preliminary, everything looks quite polished.
