  • What about the other main complaint? No online co-op. In a pandemic, really?
  • This looks really good now. Much better. Art style and visuals are great. And the multiple genres of gameplay is gonna be alot of fun. Just finished streets of rage 4 recently. This will be a nice next game in that genre.
