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.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised 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.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It visually has aged well, with a good setting and nice-looking graphics.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

Add in the incredible soundtrack, especially the cult hymns and Hope County becomes one of the most memorable settings Ubisoft has ever created.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Arcade mode, as a little multiplayer game mode, isn't too awful itself.
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
