Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
There isn't a traditional multiplayer to which you can create some sort of "party" and invite your friends then go grind the story together, unfortunately that hasn't been implemented into the game, instead each player can be viewed as a sort of ghost in the other players world if they are inhabiting the same area at the same time. if it was a traditional co-op multiplayer then it truly would be a 10/10 RPG, but for now I give it a 9/10
