Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The developers make excellent use of Unreal Engine 4’s lighting system to heighten tension; beams from flashlights, campfires, and vehicle headlights become lifelines in an otherwise suffocating void.
17 of 114 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
Congo is an action/survival game where you can play by yourself, but it’s primary aim to play on a co-op basis with up to 3 of your mates.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Played on Linux using GE-Proton 7.10, Got on sale for 0.89p, Played the first objective level on local multiplayer on easy settings all on my own and did it, the last bit of the level waiting for the Helicopter was the most intense 15-00 minutes i've had in a long while.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
From the controls point of view and combat system, they are easy to use but I must admit that I would like to see an easy way to use items in the inventory.
