Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
It's got a lot of F.E.A.R. in it (slow mo, lighting, intense gun fx), some Crysis (active camo, ability to grab and throw enemies), some Half Life (narrative-rich story, excellent environmental art), and a touch of Rainbow Six with supply crates that let you trick out your weapons mid-level.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
There's a combat simulator in-game that lets you do arena-style gameplay and I had a great time just duking it out against the waves of bots.
98 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
If you are eager to try Trepang2, it's priced very reasonably and worth any sale price, especially for the diehard FPS fan.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack gets a special mention as well, I can only describe it as dark metal with synth, ambience, or chorus pieces mixed in to create a moody yet blood-pumping atmosphere.

Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
The game looks good and despite that it is optimized extremely well, in contrast to a lot of modern releases being very dysfunctional in those areas - on a 4070 Super and Ryzen 7 3700X, the frames only dipped noticeably in a few areas, and every level and checkpoint takes at most a few seconds to load off of an HDD.
