Co-op

121 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Overall, I had a great time and definitely recommend it if you enjoy co-op games.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
72 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Don't get me wrong the core story about being hunted by a serial killer demon while trying to save your pet is awesome.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
62 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Which is a good way to keep engaged during what many can see as "repetitive" gameplay.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Which is good, multiplayer seems to be the focus so it's a good direction - hard to build an atmosphere when you're surrounded by 5 other people.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Once you get more weapons and traps, it sort of becomes a "I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me" type of thing, and I think that's pretty entertaining.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay itself is already fun, and the low-poly art style is also right up my alley.
