This game is heaps of fun i have around 800 hours at the time of review, i already had one but it put me though mental pain reading it so here is my second take.
This game is a really fun arena styled shooter it is mostly casual but can have brutal difficulty in death sentence, there are so many different weapons, weapon setups, loadouts, skill sets, perk decks, and more it is fast paced and a hell of a lot of fun.
There are drawbacks the main one being the game is old it uses a racing game engine and the scenery is well kinda ♥♥♥♥, along with that there is a ♥♥♥♥ ton of dlc and some dlc include weapons that are just better than free content and some of the earlier mentioned perk decks are locked behind a paywall.
the good part about the heist dlc's is that you don't need to own the heist to play it you only need it to host it.
If you have a group of friends that are willing to pay for this game and some dlc than i would recommend it, Connor shaw YT has a buy guide to every dlc so if you dont know what to get look there.
