Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
104 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game bangs, everything about it clicks in my brain, the art style, the core gameplay loop, the progression system, the narrative even if its not really the main focus.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Great sound design, awesome immersion, beautiful music, a great feeling that of sending huge shells across kilometres of terrain to demolish your hated enemy.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Good vibes/atmosphere, good mechanics, interesting story I never experienced a single bug, there is a cat, and its actually fun.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Not only were non-supporters kept in the loop on the status of the game, but listening to feedback on the community wanting multiplayer support was heard and acknowledge by both simultaneous plotting with this game(which is more realistic for what the team has currently), and a future integrated one in a single gun system is a great response.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The atmosphere, music, and graphics are all wonderful - no critiques there.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer could also be incredible, whatever form it eventually takes, co-op, PvP, or something else entirely.
