I will start with saying I am extremely picky about what games I get into.
After looking at all of the 'helpful' and 'non-helpful' reviews for a couple of days, my wife decided to gift this game to me; leaving the debate of whether, or not, to purchase it out of my hands.
I am very grateful she did! I have already enjoyed countless hours swapping around builds and grinding out the best mechanics for kiting and movement. On top of this, almost every round you play is different based on what types of random joker cards you get. It is very grindy - as in, since it's apparently got more content coming, the content does get more stale around 40 hours of play - BUT If you enjoy movement-based shooters with different styles you have to rebuild from scratch, this game is for you.
This game is obviously more fun and interesting with your friends (if you have any) but is also extremely fun, and almost a little too challenging, solo. It's much easier to kite solo, but much less forgiving; as every movement matters. I did fail quite a few times on nightmare solo. I recently beat a few nightmare rounds! (duo'd, not solo) and I'll quote my buddy (who has about 10-15 hrs in the game) saying, "this [nightmare mode] is like the perfect level of challenging" after we died a couple times.
I'll end by saying the negativity in the comments/community is extremely disappointing. It's as if folks don't understand how much goes into creating a game. The content creation, the animations, the projectiles, and, hell, even the languages. They expect content to be shoveled at them like fortnite skins.. it's sickening.
If the devs care about their game at all they will take months to a year to come out with any new content we can grind out for hours - we just take that for granted. Especially if the dev team is only 8 people as they claim..
(speaking from experience) I challenge any of those negative people to go try to make a game where people shoot at least 2 different guns and tell me how much time that took them.

Hope this helps
