tl;dr: Recommended if it's on sale and you're a fan of the franchise. Avoid otherwise.

This game doesn't really have huge issues that can be pointed out easily, just a whole lot of aspects which are either less than optimal, seemingly not very well thought out or just a few years behind in terms of game design.

At its core it's an alright squad-based TPS, with each team member having a unique class with a bunch of different abilities, although none of them will have a significant impact on the way you play through the campaign.
The campaign itself is, just like every other aspect of the game, not bad, but far from stellar. The story is merely there to give you a reason to continue shooting stuff, and apart from a few encounters with the classic cast it's not exactly noteworthy. It's also short: you can count on 3-4 hours for the main (umbrella) campaign and another 3-4 hours for the government (spec ops) campaign. This spec ops campaign is in fact one of my main gripes with the game, as I am under the impression this campaign was initially meant to be a part of the full release, yet was cut out for one reason or another (perhaps it wasn't finished yet?). The other DLC isn't worth having.

While the (coop) campaign was seemingly the main focus of the game, there are also a number of versus modes available. These include the standard team deathmatch and the usual RE variations on that same gamemode, most of which aren't really worth playing. In addition, you'll have to put up with GFWL, p2p matchmaking and a small degree of auto aim which they forgot to patch out. Still, you can have some fun in versus, and I personally always found people to play with between 7-9 pm CET.

Performance-wise it's not very well optimized, on my rig it actually runs worse than contemporary FPS's with all bells and whistles. The controls are a bit clunky in the beginning (could be better with a controller, haven't tried), but you get used to them. That said, I didn't encounter any bugs.

To conclude I want to point out the almost lamentable level of mediocrity throughout the entire game. It's not bad, the issues aren't huge and if you enjoy the franchise you can certainly overcome them, yet nothing stands out as being good. Therefore, and because of the bad optimization and DLC campaign, I wouldn't recommend buying this unless it's on sale.
