Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Also the Versus and Survival modes are pretty fun, especially since the game supports local-coop (as in sitting on a couch with your friends, as it was in the old days).
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Magicka also makes for unique and enjoyable multiplayer gameplay, if you find some people to play with.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Level design is on-point and a joy to see the variation between each chapter of the story and the main menu is well designed and doesn't break enjoyment or immersion of the game unlike other games.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is very fitting to the mood of the game; and although the graphics aren’t the best, they feel appropriate.
