Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Don't expect to hear much Cypress Hill except for like 4 different 5 second loops, but the gameplay is solid and challenging, the story is... there, nice levels to explore with a few secrets sprinkled around and most amazingly you can have NPC followers that can actually keep up and not be useless or annoying!
