Gameplay

64 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The core gameplay is solid, and with a few adjustments, it could shine.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Better yet the game is pretty cheap and will give you a fun time if you have friends to play with I don't but the teams mode has provided me with alot of fun so far.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It offers a unique multiplayer experience with a high skill ceiling for those willing to invest more time into the game.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The mix of stealth, disguises, gadgets, and gunplay makes every match feel unpredictable, and there’s something satisfying about outsmarting another player rather than simply outshooting them.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game also has a pretty sharp learning curve, but that’s a little bit expected since the wide armory of instrument and agent perks.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Interesting idea, groovy art style, fun characters, yet it was hampered by many issues that contributed to the decision for the studio being dissolved & tripwire pulling the plug.
