In terms of mechanics, Icons feels like a mix between Melee and 4, though probably mimics Ultimate the closest.
Servers and matchmaking
Players who bring up Servers and matchmaking mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Biggest hurdle is how laggy it can feel, although online has very good netcode.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Playing against bots is a nightmare (they're too bad, and the option to change the difficulty doesn't exist or it's not plain obvious where it is), but if you can hand a controller to a friend, the game gets just as fun as any other platfighter.
