Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
124 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The addition of full co-op mode in all levels is the crown jewel, that takes this title to another level.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Enemy variety, loadout choices, map complexity, challenge - on all this and more, the second chapter doubles down.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Plays out in a third-person shooter fashion, with players able of using a wide array of ranged and melee weapons to suit all tastes.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
To me this reminds me of playing games like Final Fantasy or System Shock, great games, fun gameplay and solid story, definitely worth playing, but unfortunately, needs fixes to run, and I just don't think anyone has made a patch for this.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It’s easy to pick up and start having fun, but there’s a high skill ceiling for those who want to perfect every level, optimize their loadouts, and experiment with increasingly elaborate trap combinations.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Most older games that may get lost to time due to graphics I will always argue are worth playing.
