Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
As for the voice acting, what is there is pretty very well done, some the more dramatic pauses didn't seem that compelling to me but it's not an issue.
97 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Although the narrative remains relatively minimal compared to story-driven shooters, it serves as an effective framework for the action, allowing environmental details, mission progression, and brief narrative moments to expand the lore without interrupting the game's pacing.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Alongside the main campaign, the game also provides a horde mode and another timed mode which is pretty neat.
