Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
135 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A beautiful third-person shooter with co-op gameplay, with no apparent story, no-brainer, full of humor and funny to play.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
114 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game has multiple checkpoints per level to save your level progress, change your gear and allows you to quit, and return to that point of that level, but with a different playable character (allowing a lot of experimentation).
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
74 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I really expected to like this game, it runs smooth with no crashes, the graphic design is excellent, the narrator is entertaining, but the whole campaign is a repetitive shooter with only a few boss mechanics to switch it up.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
71 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There are a good variety of guns, grenades to pick from and you can acquire gold relatively quickly per mission to unlock weapons that make most sense for the money, such as the ones costing under 30K gold that are sufficient against most enemies especially after gems are attached to them.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics seem gorgeous in every mission/level at max details and the hardware requirements are low to enjoy good looking graphics.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Each character is unique with a special ability and different traits,this adds a lot to replay value and is fun especially in multiplayer where you can combo with a friend different explosions and special abilities.
