Why players love itThings to know
50% of themes are praise8% are divided42% are complaints
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
NOT a fast achievement kind of game, but one that can offer at least several dozen hours replay value even in the solo player - but it's much more fun with friends, while you're all voiced and light-hearted.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The luck-based gameplay can be both thrilling and maddening, with success hinging more on fortunate rolls than strategic planning.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Third, the ~2 dozen endings to the game provide rich variety in play and a pretty good reason to play different characters, use different modules (DLC), and play with friends.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Not only does it make the learning curve very steep, it also makes it all too easy for even an experienced player to do something they didn't actually want, or have no idea why something resolved differently than they expected.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I recommend playing with random characters for everyone, including getting a new random character on death.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Some of the menu options are a bit clunky, but in the game itself the graphics are pretty good.
