Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Fantastic Coop/Multiplayer game, an endless source of fun and laughs. the Mechanics are unbelievably ridiculous, and often completely unintuitive, but always in ridiculous ways (i.e. we found that the fastest way to move without items / powerups is to repeatedly flag our wings, resulting in us mashing the Q & E keys as we move around, which is shockingly tiring to your fingers)
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It didn't seem like a lot at first, but between varying difficulties, equipment, customization, and even multiplayer (I have yet to try it though) it offers you a lot for a game at its current state of development and a large base for the game to build upon, especially now it's more openly available to the public eye.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There are also loads of cosmetics, weapons, and items you can purchase for your penguin, all with in-game currency.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In terms of story, there is a significant amount of effort put into the maps.
