Especially when playing with friends, there is a lot of fun to be had while exploring this new (tiny) world, surviving the dangers and perils (or failing to), building your new shiny base.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Maybe that's because I played solo, but there are a plethora of co-op games that I have fun playing solo or with friends.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
FOR SURE this game is a YES once fully out as I feel it has a cool story and great visuals just no polished yet.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
To start, this is a fantastic sequel. it's everything that the first game was, but done better (and more of it, pending full release). combat feels excellent, the story captures the same level of intrigue, great dialogue.
