Gameplay

81 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I was surprised by how addicted I was to the core gameplay loop and was not expecting to put in over 16 hours into the game and go for all the achievements.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The simple story is fun and I appreciate the kind of choice it allows you to make at the end.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It is fun to explore what comes by digging deeper, especially in local coop, trying to go for big chains is also an interesting addition, plus the newly added little puzzles.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics have their own style to them and I think it works pretty well.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design is decent, the music is pretty good although it does just stop sometimes (and for very long times at that) and it really feels odd to drill in silence.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I didn't play multiplayer but its a cool addition, its just too bad it is only available local and not online.
