Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
176 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
On release it was good, you could play without any gameplay issues, no stuttering or otherwise, had a decent skill tree if a bit tedious to gain the resources (red dust) to unlock the skills and a good crafting system.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The first thing that stood out to me was the beautiful, smooth, cartoony graphics.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As a side-note, it plays absolutely beautifully on PC and I've been enjoying it at a very fluid 60fps on the Steam Deck, although the fans do kick in a fair bit when in menus.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
After weather update fps during the run tanked from 50+ to 15-19 while in menu it stays stable as before.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals are rad, the soundtrack makes you feel right at home with its clear homages to DOOM, and the enemy count is as satisfying as any other bullet heaven as you cleave through armies of demons and ghouls by the thousands.
