Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The game is fun, the movement is enjoyable for most of the time, the shooting gameplay is fun, the Dexter Laboratory’s inspired art style is unique, nostalgic and quite good, however, there are problems with the game, the biggest one is the fact that the game loves to waste your time, from the first mission to the final mission.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
I played through it solo and co-op with 2 different friends (some of this was on Gamepass, but I also bought it on Steam), so I've definitely would recommend this if one is looking for something X-COM-like or enjoys strategic games that can be played with a friend.
