Gameplay

This core premise defines every mechanic, pacing decision, and strategic tension throughout the experience, resulting in a game that values planning, restraint, and adaptability far more than rapid expansion or brute force.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But the game is complex enough to be engaging for sure, if you stretch yourself on the difficulty.)
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Finally, this is a great multiplayer co-op game, like the first one.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics, endless strategies that can be made, the devious tactics and adaptation of the AI are incredible.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I haven't tried co-op/MP yet, but can imagine that's even more crazy fun.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
4 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
AI is pretty great even at lower levels. soundtrack is good and the game feels very well made. only downside is the UI and a bit of the UX. the game could use a UI/UX update to make everything more clear and easier to use
