Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
However I found its short comings did not hinder the gameplay, which based on the first world I love.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I have to say that the game has surprisingly good graphics, despite some glitches here and there, some of those lead to gamebreaking bugs where you have to make a restart since you become stuck under or inside the scenario.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Multiplayer, however, is what saves this game and makes it worth watching out for on sales.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
The developers recommend a controller and because it is a 3D platformer I would agree, however I found it perfectly playable with WASAD and a mouse (mouse controls the camera and unbox mechanic while keyboard is used to move jump and interact).

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
-Sound effects and music that keep the atmosphere alive with energy
