Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
74 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Has overall more content than the usual Co-Op horror game that fills the Steam Pages that ain't a Slender Trope game.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Update 26-09: With the addition of the two new maps as well as being able to buy items, some simple van customization and even having an unlockable purchasable character, this game has become a bunch more playable!
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Having the difficulty ramp up is definitely a good shout. 1 medkit could definitely be considered "insane" difficulty material.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The environment looks superb, you can see a lot of work has been put into lighting, reflections, and texture work.
Bugs
Players who bring up Bugs mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Game is great, and the fact that it have an amazing developer who actually listens to feedback given and constantly try to improve the game and get bugs fixed is a major plus for me.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Malum can either be played in single-player or multiplayer, personally, I preferred the multiplayer as it definitely heightens the immersive experience since wandering around a spooky Hotel, Bunker or Sewer is much better with a friend or couple of friends than by yourself.
