Why players love itThings to know
75% of themes are praise8% are divided17% are complaints
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
117 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The stealing mechanic is way more better than what i’ve expected- you could sneak up close and steal their firearms
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
63 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Most of the weapons also function exactly as you'd expect, but there are some that really stand out (e.g., shotguns that shoot exploding shells, a laser rifle that reduces enemies to mere bloodstains, etc.).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
63 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The custom soundtrack feature works well enough that I don't just mute the game's audio, but it could use improvement.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I generally love games where the difference between feeling like the strongest and weakest character ever is purely down to how well you play them and the severed steel difficulty felt nicely balanced for someone like me who doesn't excel at playing FPS games, but the higher difficulties were a bit disappointing.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Very rarely did I lose frames or crash even with decent graphics settings.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Also on DX12 RTX mode - i get like 45 fps with a GTX 1060 6 gb- that’s good optimization
