Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay remains enjoyable and accessible, providing a good challenge, though it can feel a bit repetitive.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
CAG offers achievements, multiple screen modes, a few screen borders, 2 player local co-op (which kind of works with Steam Remote Play), bits of story for each game in the menu, European and Japanese editions of most of the games

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
This has better graphics but these improved visuals come with the tradeoff that hit boxes feel slushy.
