I actually like Strafe quite a lot, but I can definitely see it not resonating with people. Most criticisms I've seen are fair, I think I just put more weight into different aspects. Overall, I had a shit ton of fun playing it and kept wanting to jump back in whenever I screwed up. (Reviewed it for GameSpot)
The first couple levels may not give off the best impression and they're pretty tough to get through on your first few attempts if you're not careful. Once you get the hang of it and you have the right primary weapon, it can be a lot easier (which may or may not be a good thing?)
It also seems that many are having more technical issues that I ran into. I had enemies glitching to different spots and them shooting through walls a few times. I also fell through the geometry once, but was able to get back in. Still sucks that it's bugging out for so many.
Lemme just plug that soundtrack, though. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but holy shit the OST is flaaaaames man. Level 2-1 and 3-2 are two of my favorite tracks. Shouts out to Toy Tree!
