Overall its very fun playing this game, its in my list for 3 player horde shooters or just hack and slash co-op or with bots , right there in the ball park of Left 4 Dead , Vermintide II, Zombie Army Trilogy for my ,,kill some time, shoot stuff in waves for fun on an afternoon or late night with the friends activity'' type of games.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
106 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But obviously, those are the complaints of somebody who clearly enjoys the core gameplay, and just wants more.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
70 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game manages to be interesting enough to play through the campaign, the weapons feel alright for the most part, the environmental designs are gorgeous, the lore is Aliens so big plus for me, and there is a fair amount of customisability with regards to the weapons and class abilities and passives.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Has a good weapon variety and special abilities of each operator are contributing a lot, they dont overtake the gunplay making them the primary usage so everything has its purpose and timing.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A good 3 players team horde shooter with a good story actually peaking my interest and solid multiplayer modes you can kill time and crack a smile.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design and music are great (even if, minor nitpick, a few of the weapons sound oddly flat).
