Gameplay

This game reminds me alot of a 3rd person POE or a fantasy Warframe with POE style crafting.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
42 of 210 sampled reviews raised it
Thankfully, these shortcomings can all be improved over time, the core gameplay with enjoyable combat, hard difficulty and farming is all there and it is why I keep launching the game over and over.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.

Co-op is seamgless and I've had no issues playing with my gf, players and enemy models are accurate on both screens and there is zero lag.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
11 of 210 sampled reviews raised it
After my first hour playing this with our community we had a blast, the surprise encounters for bosses, the scaling difficulty making you think out each of your steps and actions in solo play, gives this game alot of play value.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
10 of 210 sampled reviews raised it
The art and modeling look great, it has character customization and controller support too.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
8 of 210 sampled reviews raised it
In the end the game has a great foundation and is a blast ion multiplayer.
