Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
67 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Utility and crafting system on the game are smooth (not much issues with their systems at all, and from what i recall, modding the game is open.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
So there is a lot of combat to be had, and personally, I felt that it was extremely "swingy", where only at the start you feel about equal to the enemy, and then it is either them being extremely opressive or extremely easy.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This one i really like playing with friends, hanging out with the boys in the drillship is such a vibe.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The multiplayer works pretty great, though i did notice while playing with a friend who was hosting with rather bad internet it was a real challenge to hit the enemies, other than that, flawless where other systems most certainly would not be.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
4 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design is atmospheric, with the constant hiss of steam, clanking of gears, and rumble of eruptions creating an immersive audio backdrop.
