What players say

84% of 97,720 reviews are positive · 87% of 1,315 in the last 30 days

Players praise the gunplay, smooth movement, dodge mechanic, and visuals. The main complaints are the campaign's short length, heavily scripted Nemesis encounters, and substantial cuts to areas and enemies from the original game.
