While some appreciate the bullet-time mechanics, overall, the experience is described as stiff and lacking excitement, particularly in multiplayer modes.

    • “Bullet-time mechanics in single player are cool; Remedy did what they could with the campaign.”
    • “Gameplay is broken. It's nearly impossible to aim, and the modernized mechanics feel half-baked. The UI is cluttered, making it a not-so-smooth experience to navigate. It's buggy, and the campaign is dull, feeling like a waste of Remedy's potential. It lacks content and becomes repetitive just after an hour of playing.”
