Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
12 of 38 sampled reviews raised it
Out of all of those, The Wastes was the one that struck the right chords with me: the electrifying gunplay, the great art and sound design, and the fantastic post-apocalyptic atmosphere that all of the maps had.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
12 of 38 sampled reviews raised it
I bought it because I stumbled upon it online and thought it looked interesting, I played a handful of multiplayer matches with several other players, and I had a blast.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
7 of 38 sampled reviews raised it
Definetly bridges the gap between the original steam and the WON version and continues progression.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
4 of 38 sampled reviews raised it
While it's not perfect and it has lots of room to grow, it adapts the game play already present in The Wastes into a singleplayer/coop context extremely well.
