What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
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.
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.
If you are eager to try Trepang2, it's priced very reasonably and worth any sale price, especially for the diehard FPS fan.
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.

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.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and is not shown.
