Pros
-Improved gun mechanics
-Co-op is a welcome addition
Cons
-Lackluster story
-Boring atmosphere
 
I knew there was problem the second I realized this game wasn't developed by Monolith. Yes the gunplay is much improved, you no longer need to rely on slomo for every battle. The co-op option definitely adds some variety and fun to the mix, playing through levels as Fettel adds some replay value.  However , the soul seems to be gone from this game. The creepy atmosphere , which was a staple of the past games, is no long present in this new installment. The whole thing just seems very generic and boring. I recommend this game only to those who wish to see a closure to the Alma story, disappointing though it may be.
