Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
Only playing the coop campaign I can't speak on the PVP but I would assume it very similar to the PVE, you harvest, build and fight your way to victory.

Difficulty

Starts off a bit slow getting you used to the controls and mechanics of the game but man if you play on hard it ramps up the difficulty pretty fast.

The visuals and art direction are solid, and everything runs smoothly with a nice, polished feel.
