👍 Strengths

Multiplayer appears in 82% of analyzed reviews and ranks 27th of 642. 208 reviews say playing with friends brings pure joy and laughter, with betrayals and shared chaos at its core. 104 call it fun, easy to pick up and surprisingly challenging to master. 15 praise its replayability, as modifiers, custom levels and steady updates make each round different. Gameplay ranks 81st of 1396, and Content Volume ranks 154th of 1351.

👎 Where it falls short

24 reviews note that it falls flat without friends, and some wish online play supported more than four players without mods. 19 report lag and sudden disconnects, with unstable servers causing desync and odd physics. 9 feel it lacks content for long sessions, and a few call the single player side short. Tech & Support ranks 200th of 1399.
