The game shows potential, particularly in its unique setting within the Control universe and the cooperative gameplay mechanics. However, there is widespread criticism about the lack of content and unsatisfying combat mechanics, which are major sticking points. Many players appreciate the Remedy-esque style and smooth performance, but feel the game was released with minimal missions and content offerings. Overall, players are hopeful but cautious, looking for more substantial updates before fully committing to the game.

Positive Points

  • The game has a unique setting and atmosphere, drawing inspiration from the Control and Alan Wake universe, and offers a distinct Remedy-style visual and audio presentation.
  • There is a focus on cooperation and teamwork, with each player's class contributing to mission objectives and gameplay, fostering teamwork and strategy.
  • Some players have praised the game's replayability with its dynamic mission setup and modes that can change with difficulty levels and modifiers, offering a varied experience each time.
  • The game runs smoothly and seems well optimized for many players, with rarely encountered bugs according to several reviewers.

    • Negative Points

  • Many players have criticized the game's lack of content, pointing out that there are only five missions available, which quickly feel repetitive.
  • The game's gunplay and melee mechanics feel underwhelming and lack impact or weight, leading to an unsatisfying combat experience.
  • Criticism has been aimed at the game's progression system, which is viewed as slow and not rewarding enough, often tied to requisitions that feel like a cumbersome grind.
  • Player dissatisfaction with the absence of voice or text chat, hindering effective communication and coordination, especially in public matchmaking.

    • Mixed Points

  • While some players appreciate the emphasis on teamwork and class synergies, others find certain roles less impactful or enjoyable, indicating a balance issue among classes.
  • The aesthetic and world-building draw mixed reactions; it appeals to fans of Control and Remedy's universe but may not offer enough new for those seeking fresh narrative experiences.
  • There's mixed feedback on the variety and effectiveness of weapons and abilities, with some players enjoying the depth while others feel there's a lack of variety and power.

    • Common Themes

  • The most common concern is the game's lack of content at launch, as many players quickly exhausted the available missions and features.
  • Another frequent theme is the comparison to similar cooperative shooters, with expectations shaped by games like Left 4 Dead, Helldivers, and Deep Rock Galactic.
  • Players express a hope for ongoing development and additions, many holding a 'wait-and-see' stance regarding future updates and added content.
  • There is a recurring theme of frustration with the game's communication tools and the need for better onboarding and tutorials for new players.
