👍 Strengths

Multiplayer ranks 25th of 642. 132 reviews love playing it together with friends, and some describe fast couch rounds or nights online over voice chat. 60 call it fun, and the most upvoted says they could not drop it for the life of them, while a few credit the Steam Workshop for keeping it fresh. 5 praise the controls, with a few calling the movement and gunplay tight and easy to learn. Content Volume ranks 276th of 1351, and Gameplay ranks 447th of 1396.

👎 Where it falls short

8 reviews find the price too high, and some point to the four pack costing far more than a single copy. 7 complain about the controls, and a few say keys cannot be changed in game or that mixing controller types is fiddly. 7 note it needs a group of friends to be fun, and some say solo play is close to impossible.
