Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
78 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game feels very good, has great gameplay mechanics that you may recognize from other games and some new stuff like fully destructible buildings and a unique progression system.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
67 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
However, the destruction is really just the icing on the cake because the combat design and gunplay are very well done and feel very nice to play with.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
First things first optimization of this game is fantastic, I want to thank all of the developers that optimized this game because it feels like you are in heaven, the most important thing in game optimization is stable fps with small spikes between lowest and highest fps.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Point break just feels like a good ol objective-based PVP shooter where you can build your playstyle around your preferences and actually be useful to your team even when you're experimenting and just having fun.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Crazy good dynamic physics, environment destruction and graphics coupled with a fun, swift gameplay that seems simple at first, but once you get familiar with all the available gadgets/weapons, their counters and mechanics (around ~100 hours in?), it significantly deepens strategywise.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game is obviously at its absolute best when playing with friends, and I rarely encounter cheaters.
