Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The writing in this game is hilarious!
77 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The core shooting gameplay, with the running and gunning, the weapon upgrades, and the open combat that emphasizes movement instead of seeking cover, that's all perfectly fun.
70 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
Some of these non-fps sections are also mandatory, such as a mine-cart section (with its own optional shoot-all-targets challenge) and a bare bones vertical shmup that shows up once per episode.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Graphics-wise the game is pleasant looking, but does not exactly push Unreal Engine 5 to its limit as it does not make sure of any lumen/RT features.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
To be fair, most of this could be due to voice acting (see above).
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
Like so many other games, it's seems impossible to get a solid 120+ fps out of this one (usually an engine/optimization issue).
