Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay feels like a very typical shooter game for the most part, giving you the choice to go in loud or stealthily for a lot of the game's missions and interactions, which is always a nice option to have.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
Dive into the action solo or two-player co-op in the story campaign, use a vast arsenal of weapons and allies, and free Hope County from Joseph Seed and his cult.

Add in the incredible soundtrack, especially the cult hymns and Hope County becomes one of the most memorable settings Ubisoft has ever created.

Arcade mode, as a little multiplayer game mode, isn't too awful itself.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it

Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
The game seems decently optimized; it could just be my outdated system.
