Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
113 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You have to be proactive with your build, and have at least a direction of where you want to go with it, but it's very generous in letting you put builds together (the scrapper/printer is one single thing here, all items break down into generic points depending on rarity, so you can turn 3-4 commons into a legendary, of your choice to scrap).
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Players looking for a deep narrative or groundbreaking mechanics may walk away underwhelmed, but for fans of fast-paced action games with replayability and co-op potential, Gatekeeper is a strong contender.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization is awesome, graphic and art style are top notch. worth every penny
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat is snappy and satisfying, with responsive controls, impactful abilities, and a variety of weapons and skills that allow for creative playstyles.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Some games really forget this part, your first objective is to be fun, you may have cool concepts, great animation or effects, interesting story but if the core gameplay is boring then you failed.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The roster of characters does offer good variety, though I found myself defaulting to a certain character, in a certain build style, if I want to try-hard.
