This game feels like one of the most honest spiritual successors to Left 4 Dead. The game does not rely on class progression or unlocks to provide the players with a sense of improvement. You are able to use all possible weapons, gear, items at your disposal from the get go, and it is up to you to figure out what works and what doesn't and improve your own playstyle within the parameters of the missions.

It is a game best played with friends or at least with voice communication. Gameplay is aided by being able to quickly communicate information to each other and work as a team.

The skill cap is high and therefore the punishing aspect of the game is as well. You need to be willing to learn from mistakes, and quite often when you die you know what you did wrong to get there.
