Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
A lot of replayability.
92 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
After 662 hours of gameplay, and reaching gold rank on two out of my four dwarves, I can confidently say that DRG is one of the best co-op horde shooters of all time, and I certainly don't say that lightly.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
While the class and role variety is flexible enough in multiplayer, I think we have to praise how GS has been keeping up with player's need of enemy types.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Some of the finest shooting mechanics in a video game, incredible weapon customization, a ton of fun mission types (except Point Extraction, ♥♥♥♥ aquarq collection), everything is deeply well thought out and flavorful (except Omen Modulators, ♥♥♥♥ those stacks of garbage), heavily customizable characters, and on top of it all it's extremely well optimized by devs that absolutely love their community.

-Beautiful visuals when you have a calm moment, varied biomes and cave layouts

Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
I was able to run the game on high settings in 1080p and get a solid 240fps with occasional frame drops in environments with more stuff.
