However, I still found the gameplay loop to be enjoyable enough that I keep logging in day after day :)

Co-op is fun, loot is shared and solo play is fun too.

If you are still on board after all of that, the game itself is fun, has a nice art style, and has some solid bones to be built on with a Dev team that interacts well with the community.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
7 of 170 sampled reviews raised it
Either way, what I'm trying to say is the game is fun and I'm excited to try the pvp when there are more (or any) players.
