While the concept of the game is a good idea and the gameplay in general is good.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a pretty fun game at first had some issues and little bit delay but ever since they started rework or rebuild they been adding to it improving game a lot and making it better whole doctrine tree was redone they added weapons that's able to be equipped to helicopters made it so it's more customizable on game start and the devs seem really active now.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I can imagine if you play this in co-op it could be even more fun as each person focusses on their own style or goal e.g. one person does evac, one goes offensive and one builds the main FOB and outposts :)
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Not to mention the decent roster of infected you face, utilizing combined arms to tackle each scenario and the research you can do to better your odds in various combat scenarios like calling in airstrikes or resupply drops.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Some reviews seem kind of harsh but like they did actually listen to people's feedback and start fixing and adding stuff from ground up even added multiplayer or testing for it which is one feature people wanted for ages.
