Seriously, the first game, loot could be sort of hard to come by, pretty much your best chance of upgrading your weapons and equipment were by completing the various missions and side missions and defeating named bosses. Here, like you said, you can't go 20 feet without running into a loot box. I'd almost go so far as to say that they overdid the loot boxes, lol.

But other than maybe one decent gear piece from the Washington Hotel mission, every weapon and gear piece I'm currently wearing and using have come from random loot boxes I've found around the map or from completing control points. And that includes a couple blue specialized quality gear items.

Plus you get a free loot chest every time you level up, which certainly wasn't the case in the first game. That reviewer either hasn't played the game at all, isn't playing it correctly, is an idiot, or has a vendetta against the game for some reason and just wants to make shit up so they can bash it.
