Co-op

37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The selling points that drew me to this game is different professions giving you different skills, survival mechanics that have a tad more depth to it than the basics, and of course the online coop potential.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Despite being in early access, the game has some solid survival horror mechanics and the rouge-like elements keeps the repetitive layouts from getting too repetitive.
