Co-op

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
82 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Enjoyable tactical gameplay that puts the right emphasis on precise planning and execution.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
74 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The first, maybe not even 10 minutes of the game, the story, aesthetics, soundtrack, really suck you in, and that's actually the only good part of the game.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The non-lethal approach using tasers, stun grenades or melee is always preferable not only because it gives better score, but also because it's much more silent than going in guns blazing - having enemies react less quickly can give a huge advantage.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Everything is easy to make out and the “Cutscenes” have good art style.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound effects are intense combined with the dark and gritty theme of the game.
