Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There is a lot of tutorial which pushes you along the story mode for about 4+ hours (if rushing), a lot to take in and if you hate reading... a lot to read before you can move on.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I wish there were actual Steam achievements and you could give your co-op partners weapons or gear at anytime, but the game is seriously fun.
