Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Visuals are not that original and in fact - reminiscent of Frozen Synapse dilogy, the only major difference is the sheer glow of it all making the game even prettier due to proper use of Unity's shader system.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The gameplay is fine, the atmosphere/story is interesting and I didn't mind the difficulty.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack turned out to be good too, it makes up for the 95's Hackers vibe with it's choice of solid breakcore tunes coupled with deeply enveloping sci-fi acapellas on top of usual sythy ambient.
