Gameplay

106 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It was fun, allows for some ridiculous levels of customization on one's character, and had a relatively decent leveling experience.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The character customization options and the freedom to create your own superhero are really great.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics combined with the art style make it an age defying game.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Although I did say that lore is fun and there's plenty of characters, in-between finding something unique to fight/chat with you got to do one of those "find 20" or go through same-looking dungeon over, and over, and over again.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you DO want to play with friends, this is just as good for that too.
