“Incredibly buggy game. It is IMPOSSIBLE to play CO-OP. Don't buy if you plan to play CO-OP with friends.”
“An excellent and stressful game brought very low by RNG and an uncounterable common enemy. Had multiple runs end due to one enemy type where we did not find what we needed to counter it while searching everything. Overwhelmingly…”
