“The gameplay is absolutely solid; the changes to weapon handling and enemy balance are significantly better than previous iterations, making the weapons powerful, accurate, and satisfying to use while making enemies deadly but fair.”
“Those new combat sections felt very fresh for the game. I would like to see more of these challenging combat sections which challenge the player's shooting skills, resource management, and movement/use of cover because I think that's where the gameplay mechanics shine the most, as the foundations for it are already very solid.”

“The game at its current state has a very solid gameplay loop which I would like to see kept and expanded upon. The game offers a solid amount of gameplay mechanics and weapons without it being convoluted.”
