pretty sure this does not need any explaination anymore. one of the best coop games out there with a ton of extra content added for free - even to this day. the monetisation of the cosmetics might be a bit high, but since they are not important for gameplay I can forgive that. the relevant stuff aka new career-paths are prized fairly. and only the host needs to own the DLC, yet everyone in the group gets to benefit from them. this is a blast each time - even solo, because the AI improved dramatically from the first. tl;dr: PRO: + amazing visuals + the soundtrack slaps + fun banter between the characters + great feeling melee combat + lots of gore and enemies on screen CON: - expensive cosmetics - you kill the poor skaven and can't play as them
