The level design is very engaging and I had fun exploring all the maps and their unique layouts.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Crunchy sound effects, amazing OST, gorgeous artstyle (slightly nuMarathon coded but closer to PS1 era graphics and style like Wipeout) and tight, fast gameplay.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
58 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The blocky level features and bright textures, the character portrait and all the visual noise on the HUD, even the menus and fonts all feed into it.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The levels are open, allow for you to come up with creative routes, and demand more than just spamming weapons.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.

It gives off the impression that it will melt your computer, but the optimization is so incredible I barely ever stutter.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I think one thing that sets this game apart so well is the fact that the difficulty isn't just in the movement mechanics; Ultrakill's movement skill is based on precise timing and complex maneuvers, while CICADAMATA"'s is based on applying a relatively simple moveset on optimal routes throught a level.
