The gameplay is excellent and repeatable with choosing to solve certain puzzles differently.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
105 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I had a blast playing through this game without having to worry about getting lost or doing boring tasks, the gunplay is decent, and the several powers and weapons you get are fun to mess around and blow stuff up with.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are much better then previous games with a much more refined art style for each faction and although you still cant morph the soil you can still make levels so destroyed it wont be recognizable after.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The audio is also improved being much sharper and clearer then the soundtrack is a crazy mix of Red Faction 1-2-Guerrilla's combined with new stuff in it.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
All in all a solid game, worth a run through, and the co-op is pretty decent too.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Framerate was excellent on my laptop and never hitched even during intense boss battles with lots of enemies. i7-10750H, 16GB DDR4, SSD, RTX2070.
