First of all i'd like to point out that this game has two main aspect : combat/dungeon and ressources managment+leveling up skill tree,crafting better relics,etc It is very fun to play the combat aspect but it is also very fun to just chill at base and grind/farm for better gear and level up.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
27 of 171 sampled reviews raised it
It's not a 10/10 masterpiece by any means, it's probably a decent 7.5/10 maybe an 8/10, the big bonus to this game, is the co-op.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
24 of 171 sampled reviews raised it
Movement is fluid, combat is simple but punchy, and controls are responsive.

The hard difficulty is the most enjoyable in my experience, it provides enough challenge without going into unfair territory.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
22 of 171 sampled reviews raised 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.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
