What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
I've perfected rifle, shotgun and plasma gun and I can't deal enough damage to stop mobs from entering the zone because of them being sped up by the boost and stupid gameplay decision.
There's a lot more variety of enemies compared to the first game, graphics are improved and the game doesn't stutter as much as the first one.
Online co-op works fine with 2 players, we had no issues with our progress and finding each other quickly.
Can be played solo/multiplayer with the story being pretty much just copy and paste main objective 5x - go here, do this objective, rinse and repeat - as you move into the next zone, so I wouldn't buy the game if you are wanting it for the story which can be summed up to 'aliens are here, let's kick their a$$'; but the gameplay, exploring for guns/items, laying traps, etc, as you hunt the aliens is where it shines.
Radial menu for items/weapons: you end up standing still as you shuffle through looking for an item, but if you are like me, you can keybind it to a button allowing you to be mobile, but you still end up shuffling through 10 items, and more-so when you skip over it.
Soundtrack is available in high quality, great!
