A great game to play with friends. So far I've completed Rundown 1 by myself and with some friends on top of a couple random missions in various Rundowns. If you're experienced with shooters the game shouldn't be too difficult for you, especially Rundown 1. I did do some of the harder missions in the other rundowns and let me say that it was quite challenging. Which is good if you're someone like me who has been looking for a challenging game. This game gives me a sense of accomplishment like no other. Despite what many people say, I do think if you're good at video games the game is doable solo. You might have trouble with C tier or higher levels. I personally completed up to R1D1 solo, but got stuck at a couple levels solo later on. Don't expect this to be a game you can 100% solo.

I primarily play the game duo since it's hard to get others on at the same time. It's perfectly playable and enjoyable. Obviously, with a full team it's going to be way more fun. The game has mod support with Thunderstore (I personally use R2Modman so I don't have to install Overwolf...) which you can use for QoL mods like BetterBots, or additional checkpoints if you don't want failure to be nearly as punishing. You can even add mods to lower the difficulty if you want to go that route though I'd personally recommend against it unless you're very inexperienced with shooters. There's even custom levels and weapon packs if those interest you.

I think the only things I don't like about the game is how some weapons are just objectively worse than others, both stat wise and "feel" wise. Sure there's some personal preferences with how I like my weapons to feel, but some weapons are and utter waste of time. MOST weapons though are good barring a couple exceptions. I also don't like how tedious some missions, especially in Rundown 1 can be. Collecting 12 IDs, then later, 10 Decoders is kind of tedious.

If playing chronologically, Rundown 1 is by far the easiest, though you might find a difficulty spike in R1C1. I faced a massive spike in difficulty when I played either a B or C tier mission in Rundown 3, it felt way harder than R1C1 even though I was much more experienced. This can be good or bad. Rundown 1 feels like a proof of concept more than anything else, while the later ones are more fleshed out and engaging. So players might get bored if they play chronologically.

Other than that. The shooting feels good. The tactics feel good. The game is atmospheric and tense. The stealth and co-operation feel very nice. There's no paying to unlock stuff as everything other than a few cosmetics is unlocked right from the get-go. You're playing the game to beat the levels and have fun, not to grind some battlepass or reach the highest character level. As it should be. There's plenty of levels to keep you going for a while, and the more you play the more new stuff gets introduced so it will help keep things fresh as new challenges, enemies, hazards, and gameplay mechanics are thrown at you. Try it blind at least once, if you get stuck look up a guide then. It's a challenge that's satisfying to overcome.

Game goes on sale for about $20 usually. Would definitely recommend it at that price. If money isn't a concern for you, then $40 for dozens to hundreds of hours of fun is worth it. Especially since you can pace yourself and take your time in beating all the rundowns, there's no rush.
