Instead of this game, you just as well can play "The Division" and "The Division 2"...similar gameplay, better story, missions etc., maybe this one was like a hidden "beta" for some approaches, that were used in these 2 games.

I loved the older SC games, but this type of gameplay works too.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.

TLDR: Get this game on console instead if you can you have access to coop, better controller scheme, and no DRM unlike this horrible port on PC.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sam himself can carry two weapons, one being a sidearm with unlimited ammo, such weapon with supressor will be helpful in stealth scenario aswell as in combat, and primary weapon, it being a shotgun, submachine gun or an assault rifle of your choosing.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The shooting mechanics felt crisp, the setting worked out with fun level design nice visuals and just overall satisfying action.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
HOWEVER, as a ACTION game it's absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing, especially when you play on realistic difficulty since frankly I feel like that's the difficulty the game was more balanced around since normal is too much of a cakewalk.
