What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
That said, while it looks good and is mostly fun, I take issue with the progression mechanics and the egg hatching mechanic.
But at time of writing, many of the recent mixed review key-issues -- particularly regarding the ability pool & build diversity -- are becoming a thing of the past.
Worth a try, Definitely try Coop
+I quite like the visual style and graphics.
The satisfying sound effects, quality of the animation, vibrant & varied environments, and the commitment to visual clarity.
TL;DR: Temtem: Swarm is a highly addictive, budget-friendly bullet-heaven that runs perfectly on the Steam Deck.

Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
