The art style is very reminiscent of late-90s/early-aughts titles, and is executed very well and with consistent overarching direction throughout the entire game.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Personally I liked the difficulty spike because the game started to feel repetitive, but it seems some people prefer a more easy-going adventure.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
i mentioned the character customisation before, but when combined with the base building, multiplayer, and equipment variety, there's a ton of replayability here, and i'm fully intending on doing more playthroughs with friends.
