Why players love itThings to know
67% of themes are praise300 helpful reviews33% are complaints
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
105 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
CONTENT: There are tons of races, classes, equipment, and playstyles; though a lot requires DLC.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
74 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
SELLING POINT: I love this game because it's the only 1st person, 3d, coop, dungeon crawler/roguelike that I know of. 1st person and 3d are rare in this genre, and it's even more rare that there's cooperative play without forced PVP.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What I especially love is the choice based difficulty design of the run, as opposed to just blanket easy modes (granted, some toggles do exist which I do feel partially undermine this praise).
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I think that the races and classes that come with the base game are the most strong because the DLC races and classes are more complex/difficult.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
On the topic of a party, if you choose to play multiplayer, the game is more balanced around choosing to create a balanced party.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In the end game you can master and try pretty much all kinds of skills (melee, magic, alchemy, blocking, stealth, etc.).
