Co-op is genuinely great for relaxed couch gaming, to have something to do together while talking about your day
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The music is pretty serviceable and genuinely fits the game's themes and overall tone very well, but I'm honestly just not the biggest fan of the OST.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The city is vast and there is lots to collect and do , there is lots of hidden references to old TV shows and funny gags , it runs fairly well on the Steam deck/ROG Ally but does have some crashes on certain levels which I could not seem to bypass, its fun replaying once in a while.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Outside of those issues though, I think the visuals have held up well enough.
