Excellent mechanical detail and sound design make spending the entire game inside a metal box surprisingly immersive.

41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Good vibes/atmosphere, good mechanics, interesting story I never experienced a single bug, there is a cat, and its actually fun.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Not only were non-supporters kept in the loop on the status of the game, but listening to feedback on the community wanting multiplayer support was heard and acknowledge by both simultaneous plotting with this game(which is more realistic for what the team has currently), and a future integrated one in a single gun system is a great response.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
there is alot they could add like COOP/multiplayer just imagine your friend group manning a big artillery spider it just sounds awesome and even though its a long story (took me about 9 hours to complete) i would LOVE to see more of it
