What kind of game this is
At its core this is Shooter / Action, set in the present day. Visually it is going for realism, and the overall tone stays dark throughout. The world is open, so wandering off and ignoring the main path is part of the deal. Sessions of an hour or two sit at the sweet spot here.
The difficulty is moderate and fair, demanding attention without punishing you for it. Story exists mostly as background texture rather than a reason to keep going. You can play it with others cooperatively or go head to head. It runs on 3 platforms. It is a full price release.
