What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
After a good 118 hours of play, I can say that the absolute best part for me is the co-op PvE Campaign.
(There are probably ways to enjoy solo gameplay, but its not for me)
To be fair I haven’t tried PvP that much, so I can't really rate it.
Barotrauma is one of the most original co-op games I’ve played.
Now, moving on to the graphics and technical aspects, I have to admit that the graphics and the 2D mode perfectly match the game's style.
Still, I can't help but wonder how incredibly epic Barotrauma would be in a fully FPS format 8)
