The 4 player local coop is a great feature, but it is only local coop.

8 of 72 sampled reviews raised it
From the artistic choice in the graphical department, to the atmosphere that is built up with minimal information showing, to the lighting effects juxtaposing the dark environment to highlight important details.

Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 72 sampled reviews raised it
The audio design and the sound effects are up to par with the standards that I would hold a game like this, if not surpass them by a considerable amount.
