Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
When showing my friends the trine game, theyu got a bit of tired with the mechanics, but when I introduced 9P to my friends they fell in love with the game's gameplay, graphics and co-operative interractions (same elements that made Trine very like-able, but different).

Again, very dumb, there's "public" multiplayer and "Friends only" multiplayer... aka steam friends.
