"Co-op isn't like a special mode, it's not a segregated part of the map or anything like that. While I have yet to play co-op and can't speak to how well that works, single player certainly felt good as a single player game and Bare said the studio was "very conscious" of making both modes feel as good as each other. Often when games offer both single player or co-op, one mode can feel tacked on and less enjoyable to play as a result. How the different characters' special powers will work together and counter the various powerful foes is something I'm really looking forward to trying out when I can play this co-op. There are three other playable characters, each with their own set of abilities, all of which can be upgraded through a skill tree to become more powerful as you progress through the game. I was able to use them more regularly than I expected: they recharged quicker than similar powers in other games, meaning they're more of a standard factor in combat instead of occasional superpowers.
