Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's hard to find a 4 person online co-op game that isn't just focused on combat, so this is really nice!
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I think the gameplay is very solid, The 32 minigames are solid, they are all very different, and most keep being a challenge, especially if everyone gets a bit skilled at the minigames.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While it has multiple play modes including a couple of board games, a hard-to-figure-out adventure mode and a frustratingly-hard Gauntlet mode (obstacle course), the real attraction here is Minigame Mode, which cuts straight to random minigames.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a party game with everything you would expect from it plus some nice features on top of that - character customization, board games, drinking game mode.
Linux compatibility
Players who bring up Linux compatibility mostly praise it.
4 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Excellent (tested with an Xbox 360 wireless controller, "xpad" Linux built-in kernel module), recognized anytime, initial in-game setup needed first
