Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
While the indie roots show in certain areas, especially visually and in narrative presentation, the game makes up for it with robust gameplay systems, smart design decisions, and a ton of customization for players who enjoy experimenting with builds and weapons.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
It should also be noted, for those who care for such things, that the game does not require the Steam client to be running, nor does its multiplayer capability depend on Steam to work, which makes it truly DRM-free in my book, unlike many other Steam games.
12 of 197 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
The game is also fully playable in co-op for up to six players, which transforms the experience significantly.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Gameplay aside, the graphics are very pleasant to look at and leave nothing to be desired for a game of this kind, while the soundtrack contains many great pieces that fit the theme very nicely.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics are clean and functional, though clearly developed with performance and clarity in mind rather than visual spectacle.
