Pros
Pro Overall a solid local co-op
This game only allows for 2 players, ideally local, but you can play with a friend online if you want as well. You'll need a headset though as some puzzles need a lot of communication.
Pro Puzzle based that stay fresh
Each level does a fantastic job forcing you to work with your team mate, making each task feel new and challenging at the same time.
Pro Hidden mini games
Each level sports hidden mini games that allow you to compete against your team mate to "win". From wack-a-mole to arcade style horse race. Each game is hilarious and fun.
Pro Story pacing is good
You would think a story about divorcing parents turned into dolls would be depressing and slow... However, the overall story is hilarious, heartfelt, and has very good pacing overall.
Pro Lots of different builds
There are multiple weapons that Victor can equip, and each has a different set of abilities and are used in a way that is very different from how the other weapons are used. They really feel like separate classes.
There is also a huge pool of equipment types (spells, etc.) that drop that supplement the various builds.
Weapons and armor also have stats and qualities attached to them too.
Pro Acrobatic gameplay
Victor Vran ARPG is unique in the genre in that it's a very acrobatic and dodge-oriented game. In order to get far, you're going to have to learn how to jump, dodge, and dive around (or even on to!) your enemies in order to survive. This aspect of the game really adds another level of fun to an already good game.
Pro Funny Dialogue
As you progress through the various maps, you have a "ghost" that tags along with you and pokes fun at Victor, the situation, or sometimes even you. He has multiple pop culture references as well.
Pro Incredibly diverse AI in monsters
The AI in Victor Vran is spectacular. It's randomized very well which leads to far less predictable enemies than other games in the genre, and it will really keep you on your toes which is a lot of fun.
Pro Map Challenges provide extra challenge
Each map has a set of five challenges that reward you for completing them. They range from things you would normally do anyways to things that are so difficult really have to change up your approach to get them.
Cons
Con Not for younger kids
Because of the more adult nature of some of the scenes, it's not recommended for young kids or those sensitive to morbid humor.
