Combat

Combat can be as slow or as fast paced as you want it, Enemies always keep up (Or Vice versa)
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
120 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay loop here is pretty fun, and in my opinion, some parts are a bit better than Borderlands.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Finally, a singleplayer/co-op game in 2016 that wasn't either a trashy disappointment or a buggy unoptimized mess!
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There’s a huge variety of weapons and upgrade possibilities in amazing graphics.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
60FPS without dropping a frame 99% of the time (Motion Blur, Chromatic Abberation, Film Grain, etc, were disabled, they make games look worse IMO) the only time I dropped frames was when I encounted some very weird but incredibly rare physics glitches that causes dead enemies to connect with the level environment, causing framerate loss.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There isn't much left to do for me, so I decided to go on multiplayer a little, and it becomes much more fun in multiplayer of course.
