42% of themes are praise16% are divided42% are complaints
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
91 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While it is a nice touch, it matters far more in co-op, as the only time you really see yourself in solo is the cut-scene when you die.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This horror is mitigated almost entirely in multiplayer, when it becomes a game of accusingly pointing at your friends as a room fills with skulls until they are dead.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In my belief, games like this thrive via the community so as long as the developers keep updating this while maintaining the core gameplay mechanics, I can see this game being played in the years to come.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This version strikes the best balance between punishing difficulty and rewarding discovery, making it the standout entry for many players.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game offers some nice graphics, although some ugly glitches here and there, it is pleasant all the same
