The game is quite short (only 7 missions are officially presented). But, the challenge is created by the players themselves, because to finish the game on Brutal difficulty or quickly (Speedrun), or never die at all for the whole company.
That is why you are returning to this game to arrange another challenge for yourself.
After I completed 64/66 achievements, my last achievements were to kill 25,000 and 100,000 swarms.
I was not disappointed as I knew there were maps to farm these achievements. After running some of them, I realized that it was still very long, and it was impossible to get in-game experience on them to unlock cooler weapons.
I started looking for information and decided to make my own map. In just 2 hours, I completed the remaining achievements by spending 10 hours learning the Hammer Editor. I think it's even better, because I didn't just run mindlessly, but learned a little new things.
As a result, if you have absolutely nothing to do, this game is a great time killer. On the other hand, it is very outdated and is unlikely to enjoy playing the same locations over and over again.
