Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
64 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Compared to DR1 and 2, you can move faster, sprint, QTEs are just one button press instead of wiggling the mouse or multiple prompts, crafting combo gear can be done faster and on the fly, it’s great to finally play a Dead Rising game that doesn’t constantly annoy you with shoddy controls.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
58 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The characters are all interesting and the time limit (the part I was actually worried about) was actually very generous.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is fun, there's not much to complain about, the combo weapons are really fun to just find and to use.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The co-op mode is another strong addition, seamlessly integrating a second player into the open world.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are very mid 2010's PS4/Xbox One aesthetics but it works, and it gave me a bit nostalgia knowing that this game is 12 years old.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.

Nick is a great addition to the roster of protagonists, and the new crafting and leveling system is an added plus.
