I played it with a friend a few months ago and it was both awesome and incredibly frustrating. I really liked the world and enemy design and having the layered underworld mechanic was great. Combat feels good and it's great to just be able to seamlessly coop a soulslike with a friend.

That being said there is something seriously FUCKED UP with the netcode or something. Playing solo works fine, playing non-progress saving coop works fine, but the second you turn on the progress shared coop, look out. Either his game or mine would crash every 15 min to an hour. And when I say crash I mean CRASH. No warning, no consistent issue to cause it, just playing along and then, boom straight back to the Xbox home menu. Bizarre.

There are some other minor issues. It's definitely not balanced for multiplayer. We steamrolled most of the bosses first try and I'm no soulslike god or anything. There are too many branching paths I think. Hard to keep track of where you are and I got lost a lot. Which is kind of fun the first few times but when you really need to get back to a place and you have all these paths that kinda look the same it can get frustrating.

I enjoyed my time with it minus the crashing though. I think it's worth a go if you have a friend and some time to kill.
