Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
95 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
After it launches, it doesn't crash after hours of sitting idle or gameplay for me.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
75 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I have to say, while I do think the game has some issues, it generally is a good experience with a very interesting and thought-provoking story.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gritty (and excellent) gunplay is by no means a power fantasy, but rather a much more grounded and realistic experience.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
They have better map editors, animations, stealth, some aspects of their stories are stronger, better graphics/lighting and they're generally more accessible.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game is really challenging on the normal difficulty, health goes down very fast and like I said, it's a constant struggle all over the map.
