Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The game loop is pretty fun.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
I first played on the default (Easy) difficulty, then restarted on a "Regular" difficulty, and I can confidently say the production quality in v0.0.6 is excellent - items such as maps, a tracker, and a compass were added and can be used or ignored at your convenience!

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
If you like Arc Raiders but don't like the PvP - loved Escape from Duckov - then yes - I would definitely recommend.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I know that many people feel like super polished graphics or a 'AAA' level of polish or depth are critical for a "good" game.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
2 player co-op mode would add a lot of value

Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
Slightly better tutorial - at least have a pop up to remind players to go to settings and keybinds.
