The best shooting in the series by some distance, plus settlement building that becomes its own game if you let it. Power armour finally feels like a vehicle.

Movement-first shooting where healing comes from standing close to what you are killing, so the loop pushes you into danger constantly. Style ranking rewards variety over efficiency. Its ceiling is very high and very demanding — the systems assume you will learn cancels and parries, and it is still in early access with the final chapters unfinished.
