Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
97 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There is a vast array of weapons to choose and utilize with their own progression paths to upgrade damage and accuracy and the like.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
96 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This sequel has come a long way from its predecessor in terms of style of gameplay and content.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
61 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Models look fine, textures are detailed enough, some weapons like the Relic and Synergy rifles look completely untextured, while other weapons have elaborate designs, so there is a bit of inconsistancy on that front.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its strongest selling point is the co-op though, and while I haven't played it yet (you have to beat a few missions first to unlock it) its what made me shell out a little under 300 coppers.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For just pure fun and grinding some gear,it's a good FPS,definitely worth a try,especially if you can get it on sale.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op PvE and PvP multiplayer means you can grab a few copies to play with your friends
