Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
123 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I was able to grind out all of the achievements within 10 hours so it's not very long game, but there's a lot of replayability.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
62 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I still loved playing through the story multiple times though, and that's because the meta game centers around unlocking content in the Token Shop.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I've been interested in this game for a long time but at launch it didn't have online co-op, and now it does.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
5 difficulty sliders (hp, damage, etc) make it very accessible for new players and beat-em-up veterans.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's just as fun as it ever was to use your surroundings to your advantage to dispatch the numerous waves of goons between you and the game's impressive roster of mid tier muscle and well known bosses!
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A nice twist is that you play as two characters in a tag-system, which adds an extra layer of complexion to the combat; you can have a combo-heavy single-target specialist and a area-of-effect powerhouse to balance out encounters.
