Co-op

27 of 141 sampled reviews raised it
For players seeking a story-driven horror experience, this may feel lacking, but for those interested in repeatable co-op sessions, it keeps pacing tight and focused.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
11 of 141 sampled reviews raised it
While the core mechanics are straightforward—move, shoot, survive—the way pressure escalates over time gives the game a sense of urgency that works particularly well in multiplayer, where panic and split-second decisions become part of the experience.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
7 of 141 sampled reviews raised it
Encounters are fast-paced and unforgiving, requiring constant movement, situational awareness, and coordination, especially on higher difficulty settings.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
5 of 141 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer is cool but just having that option to jump in solo is where it's at.
