Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The way main and sub stats is inter connected has big impact on your progression which is brilliant.

Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
The game looks absolutely beautiful, the gunplay is smooth as silk and for me it runs @120 fps in 21:9 mode @ 2560X1080 or @60 fps in 21:9 mode @ 3880X1600 with motion blur off and Vsync on in ultra settings without any frame drops.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Brilliant visuals, brilliant atmosphere, great progression and you never feel anything is unfair (unless you're doing some of the torments and get a bad madness orb field).
62 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
+ Gunplay is very fun, gun perks (mysterium), abilities, and sound design are very on point
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
That being said: there are optimization issues with the new map.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
I don't know if this is for any specific reason as the game could easily lend itself to being co-op with some tweaking.
