Why players love itThings to know
66% of themes are praise17% are divided17% are complaints
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
71 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
After all, you do nothing but shoot while on foot and kill as you chill, except now there’s also melee and contextual executions like ripping out a Gnaar’s eye out and use it as a throwing weapon, fantastic!
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Let the game evolve, I am happy about the sprint mechanic allowing me to switch my pace, as well as the rest mentioned down further.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is amazing, the gore is pretty nice and coop still can be fun.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Most are story related and functional, but multiplayer and DLC related stuff is just something I despise.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As I said, look at Doom, Wolfenstein, Thief, Mafia series, System Shock, there’s a lot of reboots that stay true to the original format while introducing modern graphics and mechanics to emphasize or elevate that original feeling.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound is top notch both in terms of enemy and weapon effects, as well as the blasting soundtrack and voice acting.
