Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Chuck's gimmick of combo weapons should also be used all the time- generally speaking you should be using combo weapons more than what you can just find laying around.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It was the first to feature co-op, the combo weapons are really fun to use, the survivor AI is much better compared to the first game, Chuck is a really great character and the ost is pretty good thanks to Celldweller.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What it lacks in originality, it makes up for with a strong sense of personality and a story that's very easy to get invested in.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
DR2/OTF have a lot of quality of life improvements (being able to move while shooting, better survivor AI, less restrictive map design) and are both significantly easier than DR1.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty was perfect minus survivors just being a little way too OP.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Other than that, I think the sound design is solid despite it's age.
