✓ Both are looter shooters — sharing deep RPG systems, first-person shooting and shooter

≠ Where it differs: brings adventure storytelling, open world exploration and ranged combat, while skipping roguelike runs

The best-feeling guns in the series by a wide margin — movement is faster, weapons have real mechanical variety, and the four classes branch further than before. Where it drops off is tone: the villains are grating in a way that undercuts the campaign, and several planets pad their length with backtracking through areas you have already cleared.

✓ Same family of looter shooters: deep RPG systems, first-person shooting and shooter

≠ Its own twist: adventure storytelling, puzzle design and action RPG combat, while skipping roguelike runs

Fast melee-and-guns combat with a genuinely good katana feel, built around procedurally assembled open levels and four-player co-op. Movement is quick and mobile. The procedural generation is the cost: environments repeat visibly after a few hours, and the loot-driven stat progression sits awkwardly on a game whose shooting is otherwise built on precision.

✓ Fits the looter shooters cluster, with deep RPG systems, shooter and first-person shooting

≠ Its own twist: third-person shooting, adventure storytelling and open world exploration, while skipping roguelike runs

An aggressive cover shooter that punishes hiding: most classes only heal by killing, so the loop pushes you forward constantly. Powers are on short cooldowns and fire often. The gear system is where it frays — endgame tiers scale enemies faster than your build improves, and long stretches come down to rerolling stats rather than playing.

≠ Where it differs: brings action RPG combat, adventure storytelling and open world exploration, while skipping roguelike runs

The original loot shooter: four classes, a procedural gun system, and enemies that soak damage until the numbers line up. Co-op is where it makes sense. It shows its age in structure — quests are almost entirely fetch-and-kill, the story is thin, and the last stretch leans hard on repeated arena fights before an underwhelming finish.
