Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Having played the game with some of my friends (sometimes with a multiplayer mod, sometimes in parallel) made the experience all the more entertaining: we would give each other advice, point out mechanics we would discover, and help each other out a lot, which allowed us to make a lot of progress without having to check a guide or anything.
