Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
There's so much to like about this game, from the guns and the maps to the character customization and the objective-based style of gameplay that felt like a breath of fresh air in the recent years of PvP-everything.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I don’t know who thought that one-shot mechanic is fun but who made double barrel is though that it would be great, dagger same story.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Crazy good dynamic physics, environment destruction and graphics coupled with a fun, swift gameplay that seems simple at first, but once you get familiar with all the available gadgets/weapons, their counters and mechanics (around ~100 hours in?), it significantly deepens strategywise.

Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
First things first optimization of this game is fantastic, I want to thank all of the developers that optimized this game because it feels like you are in heaven, the most important thing in game optimization is stable fps with small spikes between lowest and highest fps.
