Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Devs keep putting out cosmetic DLC and DLC for new equipment (which you can still pick up if you don't buy the DLC, and it just sits there in your inventory with a shopping cart icon plastered over it until you yeet it into the void it deserves) while promising DLC that just adds more and more half-baked content to a gameplay loop that they apparently think is complete.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
- Dress up and intuative camera mode for screenshot, personally I don't use this feature except when I am working at the company and I needed some screenshots for my portfolio and I realize they camera mode allows you to pose characters and even move individual joints manually (to some degree with limitations), change expressions, pause physic simulation and disable lighting for the perfect screenshots.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
I have a pretty good chunk of time in the game since I only play with friends and the achievements don't pop for anyone but the host of a lobby, which is itself a joke for this style of game.
