What players say

Players mostly praise the single-player and the janky co-op chaos, but nearly all multiplayer buyers warn that desync and lag make the game unplayable for anyone who is not the host. Reviewers are split on whether the netcode is fixed, updates through 2026 have not satisfied most.
