Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
This has full COOP support as well as Singleplayer capabilities, something that Monstrum missed out on, opting into either one or the other for the 1st and 2nd game respectively.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay is pretty straight forward - you have some objectives to complete, in order to do them you have to run around and find items to progress, find codes and keycards, tools and items to defend yourself.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Cryo was pretty aight overall — cool atmosphere, solid tension, and some decent visuals for what it is.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
This is all well and good for a large coop lobby, but for solo it makes it extremely difficult to maintain any momentum.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Even tho it's only the bare minimun the game will offer at the time of me writing this, it's so promising that I can hardly ever think it will not be even more awesome as time goes on.
