• Local co-op: Review of 2018-08-30 (Xbox One) says the game has no local co-op and calls that a missed chance.
• Puzzles and figuring out: Calls the puzzles pretty simple.
• Working in sync: Says a puzzle that one player can finish alone needs more players in co-op.
• Rivalry in the group: Says loot is not shared, so players hurry to grab treasure before their friends.
• Calm and coziness: Says the puzzles break up the action and improve the pacing.
• Unlocks and progress: Relics give skill points for new amulet techniques, and gems upgrade weapons.
• Laughter and chaos: Praises tongue-in-cheek humour and a narrator who comments on everything.
• Fear: Describes a light, campy mood with spooky tombs, not a scary one.
• Tension and danger: Says failing a puzzle three times locks that room until you replay the level. That is the main cost of a mistake it names.
• Sessions: Puts the campaign at about 12 hours.

• Tension and danger: Review of 2018-09-17 (PS4) calls the game too easy even when playing solo.
• Exploring: Hidden, puzzle and bonus rooms hold the best loot, and two collectibles per level open a treasure room.
• Puzzles and figuring out: The puzzles are simple and repeat across levels. They break up the fighting.
• Unlocks and progress: Money buys stronger weapons, runes add effects and characters unlock their powers over time.
• Planning ahead: Runes are lost when swapped and only some weapons have slots, which limits how you set up your guns.
• Time to hang out: Calls it a very solid game to play with friends, and the same review finds the game easy.
• Getting better: Describes floaty controls and uneven hit detection in a game that is otherwise easy.
• Laughter and chaos: Enjoys the over-the-top announcer.

• Kind of game: PC review of 2018-09-26 compares it with Left 4 Dead as a co-op shooter, while saying it does not quite match it.
• Tension and danger: Fallen players return at a nearby sarcophagus instead of being revived, which the reviewer says takes some tension out of hard fights.
• Unlocks and progress: Better guns are found or bought with gold, and starting weapons differ between characters.
• Laughter and chaos: Calls the old-serial narration a highlight.
