I loved the atmosphere. The skeletons and tight corridors reminded me of Pathways into Darkness by the OG Bungie.
Don't know if the other weapons fix this (I might have been a bit too preoccupied hunting down skeletons), but the combat might feel even tighter with attack timers as low as 1 or 2 seconds. I sometimes felt like I was waiting in combat in the later levels, so I think it could help reduce that.
