Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
104 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story’s vibes are immaculate: it may be a game without much depth or some deep story-telling, but the music, the characters both old and new, the arrangement of cut-scenes are something else.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
62 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay was improved: higher FOV, smoother gunplay, better graphics, more gun variety (especially in the Campaign), more online modes, and overall the game just feels much better to play.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But the weapon handling, ADS speeds, and recoil make gunplay much more interesting.
