Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I wanted to play a bit longer before writing up a review, but honestly even now I get the sense of what the game is doing, gameplay loop and while it's on sale I think deserves a lot more attention that the game has gotten.
33 of 208 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
Other than this, even at 2hrs in, I think the asking price, especially at 50% off, for a fantastic Procedural Climbing game + ARPG + Co-op experience is really a must try.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Overall, it is such a fun game to play, it has great music and sound effects, good graphics, brilliant mechanics, survival and crafting, and different movement settings making it wonderful to play and everything in it gives Bean Stalker replayability that keeps me coming back for more.
