I'll try to articulate why I love it, but it still may not convince you. I've been playing games since I was 5 (currently 36). I've played all manner of genres and styles. In the last 10 years or so......I felt a real disconnect from the AAA game industry with a few exceptions (after all, they're not all bad). I'm tired of being milked for money by DLC and micro transactions. I'm tired of annual releases that make tweaks every year and charge full price. And most importantly, I'm tired of the same thing shoved in my face. This game is not perfect by a long shot. I bought it on sale about a year after its inital release and it still has a few bugs (my PC didn't like playing it in DX11). But it is a simple shooter with upgradeable, RPG elements that really is just enough for me to recommend this to someone who likes to take 15 minute stretches on a game. It looks great, and plays simple enough, and that's all I need. I know I'm in the minority in loving it, but it really does remind me of old school PC games, and that's what I believe they were trying to achieve, and that's what I got.
