Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
They're incredibly well laid out, and also have replayability when you get relics (upgrades) to go back and access areas of the map that you couldn't reach before.
47 of 159 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
The game scales the boss hp, and amount of enemies for multiplayer, you'll definitely notice more enemies when in multiplayer, which I love that because that means you get MORE RESOURCES, and you get to play with friends.
