What players say
Players praise the physics-based aiming system that replaces percentage rolls, but many find the campaign unbalanced, with enemies quickly outscaling the player's static starting armor. The game has improved after a late 2025 rebalance patch, though the DLCs remain divisive and the map variety is low.
