What players say

Players say this is a class-based co-op shooter that feels like a Left 4 Dead clone, and it abandons the puzzle-focused survival horror that defined the series. Opinions split: most call it a boring, buggy, and graphically dated product that insults fans, while a few find it fun in co-op or enjoy its dark atmosphere. Long-time players consider it an embarrassment to the franchise.
