Co-op

That said, if you enjoy laughing and getting scared with friends, co-op is still a great option.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

...or so we thought, actually, everyone but the host may return as a fresh player if they happen to leave or crash. coop's revival mechanic already invalidate the 1life challenge, this is an interesting feature as well
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I've been steadily progressing on solo, and I think the structure of dying and respawning works very well with the punishing difficulty of the monsters (albeit that much of it can be learned and/or overcome eventually).
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Solo it can be a painful slog built on exploits but some goofy fun in multiplayer
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Games run well on my computer, surprisingly well graphics for the kind of game plus it captures a great night time atmosphere and makes the maze rather eerie with great sound affects and monster alike.
