The verdict
A chaotic, cinematic co-op horde shooter that shines with friends, but players cite constant nerfs, bugs, crashes and a heavy warbond grind. Skip it if you play solo or dislike live-service churn.
Great for
Squads of friends who love chaotic, explosive co-op and friendly-fire comedy
Main risk
Nerfs, bugs and crashes plus a grindy warbond economy sour the experience over time

Several recent reviews say the latest updates caused crashes, fps drops, broken enemy spawns and ragdoll issues, and one says a recent performance update made things worse. Fairly consistent across reviews.
