Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Huge amounts of fun, but the matchmaking can be a bit buggy or straight up broken, and playing with friends can be made complicated due to an apparent lack of private lobbies (kept having strangers join lobby while waiting for friend to join, and kicking them/leaving and making a new lobby seemed to be a primary cause of many issues)
16 of 274 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
In terms of gameplay mechanics, i don't think anything has to be improved or added.
12 of 274 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Summary: This game is really good with a friend, painfully lonely online (at time of writing).
