Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The combat toes a perfect line between methodical elimination and explosive termination, with the pace ready to switch on a dime, and excellent sound design makes shooting, swapping, and reloading guns feel impactful.

Also, works perfectly on Steam Deck out of the box, steady 40 fps (manually limited) and controls are fun.
