Every game is different.
Excellent locations and level design.
The level of detail in everything from guns to the walls and floor is next level.

The cool opening video of the location and game mode when loading.

Lemnis Gate Review Cons:

No option for the controller speaker volume.
A lot to take in.
Doesn’t have bot support so offline is you against yourself as you control both teams.
Big learning curve.
Text is small in places.
No story mode or single-player.
Heavy going at the start as you wrap it all around.
