Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
89 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But under that scuffed exterior is a deep, brutal, insanely replayable sandbox that will eat 300 hours of your life while your GPU basically idles.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Melee combat is fun and not tedious at all, good luck in melee engaging 3 or more guys since they would just kick your butt fast so prioritize heavy armor and shields to mitigate that.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The "multiplayer" ones were surprisingly fast, as they can be done while playing against bots on your own server that takes seconds to set up.
