What players say

92% of 21,473 reviews are positive · 89% of 92 in the last 30 days

Players praise the replay value, secrets, expanded exploration, and chaotic co-op. The most common current complaint is that online multiplayer can fail to connect or hang between areas; others find abrupt chain-reaction deaths unfair rather than satisfying.
