Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
76 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The core combat gameplay is just so much fun that RWR's open-world battlefields seem like they could offer endless fun.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat is instantly fun and intuitive, the levels are beautifully made, the scale is appropriately epic with hundreds of little army men scurrying about, and the whole experience is thoroughly immersive - it almost feels like being in the middle of a well made, large scale, top-down Arma mission.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
PVP is a blast but I personally find there's a distinct shortage of games built around cooperation as opposed to competition.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's super easy to host a server for some coop fun with friends, and the game is super easy to mod.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
On the other hand, the campaign scenarios are immersive and highly detailed, with various elements such as buildings, roads and bridges that add value to the gameplay.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Luckily there are sliders for a lot of the difficulty options do you can dial it in to just how you want it.
