❤ Diverse Weaponry and Customization

Players have access to a wide variety of weapons, including pistols, shotguns, and assault rifles. Each gun can undergo extensive customization using weapon parts found throughout the game world. This encourages players to experiment with different loadouts and playstyles to overcome the game's challenges.

❤ Scarcity and Resource Management

Ammunition is often scarce, forcing players to carefully manage their limited supplies. The game emphasizes thoughtful engagement with enemies, as wasting precious rounds can leave the player vulnerable. Judicious use of the "Genesis" scanner tool, which reveals hidden items, becomes crucial for ensuring adequate resources.

❤ Clunky Yet Rewarding Dodge Mechanic

The dodge system allows players to evade enemy attacks through precise timing. While initially counterintuitive, mastering the dodge technique can provide a substantial advantage in combat situations. However, many players have criticized the control scheme as feeling clunky, especially early in the game.

❤ AI Companion and Cooperative Play

An AI-controlled partner accompanies the player for much of the campaign, possessing infinite ammunition and health. While these companions can serve as effective "meat shields," players cannot directly command their actions or inventory. The cooperative "Raid Mode" allows two players to team up and tackle challenging combat-focused missions, introducing new weapons, skills, and playable characters.

❤ Diverse Enemies and Tense Environments

The game features a wide variety of enemy types, each with unique strengths, weaknesses, and attack patterns. Navigating the tight, claustrophobic corridors of the cruise ship setting heightens the sense of tension and dread, as players must carefully manage their resources while confronting these dangerous foes.

❤ Difficulty, Progression, and Replayability

Multiple difficulty settings, including the punishing "Infernal Mode," provide a range of challenges for players. As they progress, they can unlock new weapons, upgrades, and skills, creating a compelling sense of mastery over the game's mechanics. The remixed enemy and item placement in "Infernal Mode" offers a fresh experience for veteran players, further enhancing the game's replayability.
