If you on the other hand like tight controls, feel like you're in control of your deaths, a game with mechanics that are consistent, performs well under pressure, has a wide variety of whips and relics, then no.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.

The graphics are really pretty decent for an indie title, and all of the movement mechanics are fun to use, however not particularly smooth.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it

Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
From the beautiful art and environments, to the immersive sound design, topped off with air tight game play mechanics Phantom Abyss is a streamers wet dream, equally fun to watch as it is to play.
