Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Changing various gameplay mechanics such as making security cameras that cannot be destroyed, and various special enemies to encounter to test your skills if things happen to turn south.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
But honestly, even with the clunky menus and the steep learning curve, it's easily one of the best co-op shooters out there and you can easily sink hundreds of hours into it.

Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
☑ Good (textures and animations are okay, not modern)
