For the positives: The combat is great, the gore is brilliant, and the physics and way you fight and the way other's take damage so brutally was/is refreshing for a game.

Enemy variety and setting changes keep things fresh, while the sandbox-style design encourages experimentation and emergent moments.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has all the hallmarks of a roguelike RPG, wide variety of monters and mobs, different classes, weapons, playstyles, and the ability to play co-op with others.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I have to say, I was genuinely surprised by how the game evolved from being just a simple bar fight simulator into a full campaign with real lore.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Visually, the low-poly art style is simple but effective, fitting the game’s over-the-top physics and exaggerated violence.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound design sells every hit, crash, and collapse, giving combat a satisfying weight.
