There's a good variety of missions and you can play in large group co-op if you can assemble enough buddies.

It's not a twin stick shooter and the story has some fun (if predictable) twists.
Characters

21 of 297 sampled reviews raised it
Each mission delivers a strong sense of progression, and character customization options are deep enough to let you settle into a role—whether that’s heavy fire support, stealth, or medic duty.
Difficulty

20 of 297 sampled reviews raised it
It's also quite a challenging game even on Normal (and there are two difficulty levels above that!).
Combat

14 of 297 sampled reviews raised it
It plays a lot more like a real-time tactical RPG and the combat reminds me of Dragon Age.
