Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I like the gameplay loop a lot, the only gripe that I have aside from the fact you can't shoot while aiming is the auto aim.
31 of 232 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
I have to agree tho that the fact that a "real" online coop doesnt exists, dampens the experience - although to be fair you can still play with firends online via the "steam remote gaming" feature - so another person even on their own pc can play with you (but its somewhat tedious and one of the at least two players needs a controller).

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Wacky characters (even more with the Happy Tree Friends pack), and even crazier enemies to face.
22 of 232 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
It doesn't change any of the "voicelines" outside of the lobby for whatever character you're playing as, but it does change your character's death animation, albeit being only different one for each.

The art style and soundtrack fit the gameplay perfectly.
