How it feels

Running, dodging, and blasting through ever-escalating waves of aliens with escalating loot and abilities feels like a frantic race against inevitable doom.

What players say

Players love the replayability and co-op, though some report frequent multiplayer disconnects. The soundtrack and item variety consistently get praise, but opinions split on the DLC: some say it added messy content, others enjoy it.
