Why players love itThings to know
58% of themes are praise300 helpful reviews42% are complaints
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
132 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A game with an amazing premise and enemy design and a really well mechanically implemented open world that's ruined by bugs and poor performance despite my pc being well within specs and having all graphics settings turned down to garbage mode.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
82 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is such an interesting idea, and I would say the main story and DLC both handle it very well, and leave just the right amount of mystery.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
81 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The machines sound incredible (especially the big ones), the weapons have plenty of boom and you’ll be ducking for cover over and over again at the sound of incoming mortar fire.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
76 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op is fantastic, with drop-in/out being quick if not intuitive at first.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The weather effects, lighting, and sound design—especially the mechanical screeches of the robots—are incredibly immersive.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
All that clever AI means that in multiplayer, squad tactics CAN be used against the AI to great effect!
