While the heavy grind requirements, reliance on drop RNG, and limited environmental variety hold it back from perfection, the core combat loop is tremendously fun.
Combat

The weapon handling and gunplay physics feel exceptionally satisfying, physical, and realistic.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
63 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The new classes are fun, but Engineer feels a bit like cheating.

33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As for the Graphics - it's still as beautiful as it was 2023.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I find myself stopping frequently to listen to where enemies might be moving, but not just that, the music is an excellent fit, and many of the sound effects are paired with haptics (which are used amazingly).
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This is a very good VR procedural WW1-style FPS roguelite with a class system that extremely, heavily affects the way you play.
