Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
18 of 47 sampled reviews raised it
The other cool thing about bifurcating players' builds is that you can optimize which upgrades go on which character; considering that elemental interactions are an important part of the game, figuring out how to best craft each of your two characters to optimize these systems is an interesting twist to the normal formula.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
9 of 47 sampled reviews raised it
Lots of skills, lots of stats, not too easy, banger dynamic soundtrack (!) and you can couch co-op.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
7 of 47 sampled reviews raised it
I particularly like the choice to go for a difficulty on a per-room basis.
