This game is delightful.

The core gameplay, including the way the classes have interesting roles and well-designed interactions, is really solid and fun.

The cave generation, mission objectives, and randomised enemy types all add just the right amount of variety, so that each mission feels like its own fresh adventure.

At the same time, the basic gameplay loop of mining and shooting and exploring becomes familiar enough to be relaxing. Still, there's a lot of depth and you feel like you're constantly getting better at the game.

Perhaps most importantly (for an online co-op) the community really is great. Worth noting that this is not an accident - there are many conscious design choices by the developers that support this.

Tip: if you're new to the game, I recommend going to UI settings and increasing the size and duration of the chat messages. The defaults make it easy to overlook things, especially when you're learning the game and things get hectic.
