I have been playing the game for about two or three weeks and the game is fun at first but it eventually becomes repetitive. The most obvious repetitiveness are the areas. Sure they're randomly generated but the tiles/textures are the same. What also seems the same is the layout of some of the areas. The downtown city areas and underground railways all seem to have a very similar layout to each other. Also, the monsters don't seem to be distributed all the well. Certain varieties of monsters aren't seen as frequently as others.

As for the story, it's not that compelling or interesting.

Oh yeah! The weapon mods/upgrades are great, but I don't understand why mods for various guns/rifles/rocket launchers etc... would have a willpower requirement. The primary attribute for a marksman is accuracy and I can understand that strength is important too when it comes to wearing heavier armor or carrying heaving weapons but why willpower? It seems like a cheap method to prevent players from uber-modding their weapons.

Finally, skills: I've been playing a marksman and they have a good selection of skills but I disagree with the in-game hints about having a variety of skills. I think specialization is the key. I recommend specializing in two or three skills trees otherwise you'll be spreading yourself too thin.

all in all, it's still a fun game.
