The gameplay is a blast but there are definitely balance issues (homesick shard can softlock you and force you to fly into the death ceiling, for one thing).
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
13 of 171 sampled reviews raised it
They are going to be adding some extras, which I am not sure what that consists of, and online Co-op which should be extremely fun.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
8 of 171 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty has been bumped up because it was a bit easy and I really like that, and the textures have changed a little bit but it is so much of an improvement.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
7 of 171 sampled reviews raised it
Awesome concept, nice graphics, great controls, and a huge boss every couple of levels.
