If you enjoy games like Core Keeper, Starbound, or Terraria, Necesse is an absolute hidden gem that quietly outperforms almost all of them in pure gameplay loop and quality of life.

I got a lot of materials to craft both the best weapons and armour so far.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Boss fights are challenging, well-telegraphed, and scale great both solo or in co-op.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The ability to adjust difficulty and various world rules is a nice touch too, because I can make the experience more relaxed or more demanding depending on what I want from a particular playthrough.

Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its mechanics aren't as good as Core Keeper, a little less fun to play and craft in general, more annoying controls, and of course Core Keeper has amazing character builds with multiple classes and has leveling while this game has no XP.
