There's a ton of classes to pick from, all of them really varied in playstyles, and there's a ton of class synergies you can do in multiplayer.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
66 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And even then the "worse" lower-tier weapons tend to have unique effects to them that give them SOME kind of niche.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Synthetik has a very strong online community and seems to center heavily around the co-op aspect of the game, while still being perfectly addicting in singleplayer.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game harkens back to 90’s gaming not just in appearance but in its ever brutal difficulty scale and permadeath mechanics.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The amount of classes to master, variety in each run and numerous unlocks provide near unlimited replay value all for a relatively low entry price (especially if you get this on sale).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound effects are great, the bullet impact and gun shooting sounds great.
