Excellent arcade arena shooting gameplay
Movement and shooting feel great
Weapon variety and upgrades are fun

Establishes itself as a game for replayability, but feels like an add-on mode for something larger
Matchmaking can be a waiting game if you want a specific experience
Characters don?t feel mechanically different enough to make a difference

A sparsely populated bestiary
A content that is far too thin, especially for 40?
An abandoned story for quick games
The solo mode is being snubbed

MeriStationGameplay-wise, it's a very good FPS. The weapon handling is very satisfying, and the characters' mobility is excellent.
With a group of friends in high difficulty levels, this offers a very visceral, stimulating, and fun experience.
It is an exceptionally optimized and polished game.

It is an exceptionally optimized and polished game.
Alarming lack of content. 9 missions, each lasting 20 to 30 minutes, with little variety of situations and no narrative thread connecting them, seems too limited to us.
With a greater variety of enemies and better treatment of elites/specials, things would have progressed a lot, there is very little precision in this area.
A multitude of very poorly thought-out design decisions. Imposition of 2 bots, only 2 weapons, separation of offline/online progression, 4 selectable characters almost identical in terms of gameplay.
