Still, I did like the variety of loot and different builds you could create.
Co-op

30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer co-op adds extra fun, as coordinating attacks and sharing loot with friends made each dungeon run feel dynamic and engaging.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game does a good job of giving each character class a nice unique range of abilities (I was the Berserker - with an affinity for duel-wielding one-handed weapons).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The four acts move along briskly, each with its own look and personality, and the soundtrack sounds good alongside the art style.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Character customization provides substantial depth through multiple classes, skill trees, and equipment options.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
