Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
112 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
On the surface this is a collectathon like Mario64, Banjo etc, but it is not just copying them and I love the fact that it is also trying to bring something new to the table, which comes in the form of the unbox mechanic.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised 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.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The multiplayer is actually really fun if you have 4 people to play with.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised 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.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I've liked the "voice acting"... ok, there's none tbh, but all boxes have a clear personality that we can associate with a voice.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Overall, being able to do Steam Remote Play and couch co-op multiplayer on this game makes this game a total winner when it's on sale, and the game typically goes on sale for $5 or even just $3.
