Co-op

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Visuals even though not technically impressive look great because of the art style, the music is amazing, dialogues for the most part are good (Strife has that Deadpool vibe that personally don't feel it matches the rest of the cast, especially the other 3 horsemen).
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
• Fabulous voice acting, Strife is absolutely hilarious, the chemistry and anti-thesis between the two characters is pure spectacle.
