Gameplay

What first grabbed me were the traversal mechanics which are quite fun, I ended up spending entire sessions just traversing the city to grab every collectable, which I rarely do in other games.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
86 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There are also plenty of weapons, character customization options, perks and different build combinations to experiment with.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
80 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is entertaining but there were moments where I felt a bit stuck and the pacing was too slow.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is fantastic, full of so much indie rock that is now on my playlist.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Pros for me are the visuals and art direction, an apocalyptic game with what I'd describe almost as a skater punk aesthetic is pretty unique.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I want to recomend it, it has very fun movment and style, not to mention creative missions and some great character customization.
