Playing it together
Best with friends: shared base building and horror, but buggy and rough in combat
Pros
- Much more fun with friends than alone, as many reviews say
- Team up to build a base and survive cannibal attacks
Cons
- Combat can turn into stun-lock for both sides
- Bugs and crashes that can disrupt a shared run
- Optimization is weak, so it struggles on lower-end PCs
