Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
This will make them easier to pick up at speeds and during firefights, and removing the health-kit throwing item in replacement for a healing dart gun would be a more skillful alternative way to heal teammates in team-based gamemodes, as well as preventing campy gameplay by throwing down a healthkit and sitting in one spot almost forever only leaving for ammo.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Amazing customization options from a furry F2P game is hilarious, and there are armor sets that aren't egregiously furry if that kinda turns you off a little from playing but honestly just embrace the cringe, it's way more fun and honestly not even that bad (you aren't gonna be hearing the bots say sus ♥♥♥♥ or anything like that lol), apparently has a WIP campaign with a fun little killhouse style mission that's short but nice.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Various game types keeps things from getting stale and gives you a chance to team up with randoms or you can keep the lobby small if you want to just play with friends.

Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
funny little FPS that has a lot going for it, nice graphics, cool guns, and wildly enough pretty decent customization (unfortuantely there are paid cosmetics but this is a F2P game so i'll let it slide).
