7/10. The game does not have a solid story, but its real fun comes from the multiplayers, Especially when the monsters grew stronger and stronger, and the only way to get out alive is to work together.

Good things to say about this game: rich weaponry and weapon DLC packs which definitely worths purchasing. The reason that weapons are so important is because the gameplay is mostly about make damage to the monsters, and with different perks you got multiple combinations of players to team up, each with specialities to deal with different monsters. Weapons in this game definitely makes the fun lasts longer.

The design of perks have both pros and cons. The pros is that it makes playing this game sort of a growing process. It drives you to level your character and by that you would want to increase the difficulty to play in, only to realize that the leveling and challenging to the more difficult is the deadly spiral of this game which sucks you in. The cons is that the perks also created some sort of discrimination, between players, and oneself too. Some players judge player's skills by looking at levels, but it's always a mistake to reject people to have fun together. Although it's a bad culture and not the game's fault to blame, I still couldn't help disliking it. Besides that, after leveling to the top I began to stop playing those perks because there are some perks of mine still needs some work. It's a phychology thing and I just want to get them all, and I indeed felt the fun of the game has been killed of a little bit too.

Finally the bad things, I'm afraid there are several as well. First of all I play this game on Linux, and I hate to see the software team doesn't seem to care much about this platform. There's no Linux group but a Mac group in the official forum. There's been a bug of Steam Workshops that's known for more than one months and still yet to be fixed. The gameplay is very repeatitive but thanks to some Workshop contents it has some twists.
