Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
150 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The true co-op experience comes into play before anyone even enters a trial; deciding who will have which spell to counter the trial mechanics.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
79 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A unique and incredibly important mechanic to this release is beckoning the orb to your location, as certain mechanics can only be triggered if it's in the correct spot.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Other than the inherit differences between melee and ranged; the developers have done a good job at keeping most everything balanced.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
CONCLUSION / TLDR: The best local cooperative multiplayer game I've ever played (as of April 2024).
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
They all play very differently and the variety of skills you can pick within a class allows a lot of experimentation and wildly different play styles.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics looked great and I was able to play on high settings despite being on a laptop with a modest dedicated GPU.
