I had fun with it, but I know that's just because I played it coop with a good friend. I can only imagine how much of a slog it would be going through this solo.
PROS
-Good times when playing co-op, cannot stress enough how much playing this with a friend helped salvage this mess.
-Weapon customization mechanic is a really fun addition. Spent a lot of time at the benches making some goofy guns.
-Ended up actually liking Carver's character by the end.
-Various different environments.
CONS
-Trying to get coop to work was a bit of an unnecessary mess as EA makes you use their shitty program despite the fact we bought the game on steam.
-Not a great opening and the rest of the story was paced kinda strangely and never really hooked me despite being the conclusion of a trilogy.
-Not a ton of memorable moments, me and duo struggled to think of parts that actually stood out to us.
-Co-op kinda makes it not scary anymore, also just not as shocking or grotesques as the previous games.
-New characters, besides Carver, were pretty forgettable.
-Only 1 ammo is such a godawful mechanic and idea, basically ruins any fun of resource managing and makes conserving ammo incredibly confusing and awful.
-No currency and shops anymore. The crafting item system is just not good, relying on rng to find the right materials to make heals or whatever. Shops were just perfect.
-We'd find a ton of rooms and areas that were literally 1/1 copies and had us questioning if we'd been there before.
-SAVE SYSTEMS SUCKS DICK there's NO manual save and the auto save is not polished and had our inventory constantly glitching and losing items and gun upgrades.
-End credit 'scene' is just so dumb lmaoo
