Co-op

You can play 4 player coop or invite a friend using the steam play together feature if they do not own the game and play with you as if it were coop.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise 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.

I played just under an hour of the campaign with my gf and got through roughly 1/3rd of the game's missions.

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.
