Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
So, yes i loved this game so far, i didn't play much on the story, it was mostly to get used to controls, then straight into arena, i've got my first imprint on agent and now just trying a mod just to have more fun.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Even then, this does not tell you important gameplay tips such as throwables having a hidden sweet spot or the full extent of partner/hireling commands.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
While I wouldn't say you would listen to the music in your free time, the soundtrack perfectly scores the carnage you brew up, and motivates you to come back even if you get your skull caved in a million times on one area.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
This was tons of fun, amazing atmosphere, beautiful graphics, super satisfying gameplay, huge variety of weapons, great plot, and an amazing soundtrack.
