Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
A great TRPG, with less RPG elements but that gives it a nice spin (your inventory and character determines skills, it is way better than what you may think at first).

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
- no single player, this game feels like it would play best in single or co-op mode
