  • story
    29 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its tighter narrative focused on finding a father and aiding the resistance, while others criticize it as disjointed and lacking depth. Despite the engaging gameplay and graphics, many found the plot to be underwhelming or "trash," detracting from the overall experience. Overall, while the story draws some players in, it fails to resonate with a significant portion of the audience.

    • “It draws you into the story and action.”
    • “This game definitely is sticking to a much tighter storyline - find dad, help Neu Paris and the resistance.”
    • “The game is great, the story is great, it plays great.”
    • “That game was all over the place in terms of story.”
    • “The plot is pretty awful and the AI for enemies is super predictable, and for the second protagonist, it's downright bad (good luck trying to use stealth).”
    • “The story was trash; however, the enemies respawned, making it more enjoyable than the previous game, but the story was still so bad!”
  • graphics
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics have received mixed reviews, with some players noting significant degradation on the Switch that impacts enjoyment, while others appreciate the improvements made in a recent patch. Overall, many find the graphics to be well done and enjoyable, particularly in story mode, although performance issues persist for some users.

    • “They recently put a patch so the graphics are better.”
    • “The FPS on the Switch has dropped, and the graphics are significantly degraded to the point that it is not enjoyable to play.”
  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for being fun and engaging, with enjoyable mechanics such as player upgrades and a satisfying co-op experience featuring level-based enemies. However, some users noted minor performance issues and a lack of communication options during gameplay. While the graphics are well-received, there are calls for visual updates to enhance the overall experience.

    • “The music is great, the scene is great, gameplay is fun, being able to upgrade your player to your liking is fantastic.”
    • “For those of you who do your research, you'll find a fun co-op experience with level-based enemies and progression, punchy weapons, and satisfying gameplay.”
    • “I've only played the story mode but gameplay is great, graphics are well done.”
    • “It's so annoying to not be able to communicate with other players at all during this gameplay.”
    • “The controls feel clunky and unresponsive, making it frustrating to navigate through the game.”
    • “The gameplay mechanics are overly complicated, which detracts from the overall experience.”
  • monetization
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's monetization strategy has sparked complaints among players due to the presence of microtransactions, primarily for cosmetic items, with a few offering experience and cash boosts. However, the deluxe edition provides significant value by including several skins and a buddy pass for multiplayer, which some players feel justifies the game's pricing, especially since it launched at a lower cost than initially listed.

    • “You may have seen talk that this game has microtransactions that are making a lot of players complain.”
    • “The deluxe edition comes with several of the skins that are normally obtained through microtransactions, and the added value of the buddy pass, which lets you play with any friend who does not have a copy of the game, is great added value for a game that is not even full priced to begin with.”
    • “Which, as a side note, shipped for $8 less than the list price from when I preordered, so the rage over the addition of microtransactions baffles me as they are mostly cosmetic, with the exception of a few 'fast forward' items that give an optional experience and cash gain boosts.”
  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization is generally satisfactory, with performance issues occurring in less than 5% of gameplay time. However, players note that the visuals require an update to enhance the overall experience. Despite these minor drawbacks, the music, scenes, and gameplay remain enjoyable.

    • “The music is great, the scene is great, gameplay is fun, and being able to upgrade your player to your liking is fantastic. I did experience some slight performance issues, such as blurriness, but I would say it was less than 5% of my playing time.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the game's atmosphere, noting that collectibles enhance the experience by providing humorous and engaging content that contributes to the overall mood. The inclusion of amusing UVK covers and immersive readables effectively enriches the game's environment.

    • “Once I started finding the collectibles (tricky!), I realized that they do add to the overall atmosphere of the game. The UVK covers are funny to read, and the readables really set the mood.”
