Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay is fun, but while I can easily see it being incredibly addictive to some and giving them dozens of hours of play in survival mode, reaching personal bests, it's something I beat (the campaign), it entertained me for a few hours, but I don't see myself replaying it.
