Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I had fun for the first bit on my gameplay time, but towards end game the settlers are not doing tasks, getting bunched up in fights (like 30 people all occupying a single space), not knowing how to go around objects, and the game was crashing every time I tried to raise 3 different groups.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
I will say this has been a blast so far with some minor issues, Every game has its quirks and issues, but to the overall of this game so far I have enjoyed with Co-op, having to work, manage, recruit and delagate who is a farmer, smelter, harvester, etc, Then have to research through the tiers between 1-3, level up through fights and having to scavenge through the world, build and research different weapons and armor to buildings that will help improve your livelyhood and the people within your community.
