Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
EDIT: I forgot to mention but as other people have stated, THERE IS NO MATCHMAKING OR LOBBY SYSTEM LIKE MECCHA CHAMELEON HAS.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
BUT, I would personally wait to buy it until it's reached a much more polished state, I didn't come across any performance or crashing issues (game is very optimized), but polished as in gameplay, give it a month or two, then buy it, or buy it now and be one of the few who see it grow into a better game.

Graphics

The visuals are colorful and charming, while the controls feel responsive and intuitive.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack complements the visuals exceptionally well, using heavy industrial-inspired compositions that heighten suspense and make each encounter feel even more intense.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
On a positive note this is a very good experience I'd compare to the Mario Party series, creative way of showcasing the minigames genre, nice seeing something else than a typical friend slop coop game.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Overall I loved the dystopian art style and would love to see more customization options or simply characters/personas to select.
