I played through the entire campaign. It was very generic. The story was mediocre and the technical issues on PC were pretty bad. They patched it up quite a bit. It plays better now. I can say the only reason why I enjoyed it was because I missed Division 2-type gameplay but was was tired of running around the same areas in New York. The endgame is just an enemy hitpoint multiplier where a tiny creature has 20,000 HP. It's too bullet-spongy.
This looks very much like a marriage of Gears of War cover / shooter and Destiny powers
Looks super generic to me. I have alot of time in both Destiny and Division, yet this just looks like a Frankenstein of mechanics/themes from other titles.
Maybe the actual gameplay feels great and it's one of those games that's better to play than watch, but this definitely doesn't come across "next gen" to me.
"If Mass Effect ran faster/smoother" is the vibe I'm getting from this. I'm not uninterested lol!
Looks more like a game from last gen to me.
