Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
I would probably recommend the PS5 version over the PC one only because it has true couch coop.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
It's a shame they removed couch coop, but online is good and each player has their own 4 character team which is great and makes things even crazier.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Note: To fix issue 3 just add new fun ways to celebrate the game's 25th anniversary with new gameplay mechanics such as like in ingame settings player's should be able to select which EDF game's BGM soundtrack we want the game to use, so every time we play missions, it should exclusively use the selected EDF predecessors BGM.
