What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
I've completed the game (outside of doing higher difficulty runs) and now I want more, be it DLC or extra game modes (Random Mission Generator or Horde mode with choosable maps would be absolutely wonderful and add endless replayability).
Also have to mention the amazing visuals which do an excellent job of combining some nice 3D models with Doom like sprites.
First of all, try the demo, it has the 3rd mission which is relatively representative of the game, in both good and bad which I'll elaborate in a bit, but overall I enjoyed this, there's a niche in FPS games that isn't often catered to, the Halo-C&CRenegade-SWBattlefront type large scale battlefield experiences in with a singleplayer campaign, and this is going for that and doing in my opinion a rather decent job.
The sound effects and music serve the action perfectly.
I don't quite feel that it surpasses some of the classics, but it certainly felt fun to play a singleplayer game in a FPS niche usually more catered in multiplayer or coop circles traditionally (or modern warfare type environments instead of scifi, horror or fantasy), with mostly older games that did what ST:UBW does here.
(Would pay for DLC) Played the entire game on Steam Deck LCD and it ran flawlessly.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and is not shown.
