This game feels good to play, feels good to explore. and the characters and lore are interesting enough to make me want to complete most of the quests that I've found.

But every co-op game I have ever played usually tends to give each player in the party something.

37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting is actually top tier, the overall story and setting is engaging, I can't help but take on every quest I find not because I want to check the box, I just want more, I want the lore of this world.
