Story is bland and characters are not special.
Kinda fun to play with friends for a bit, but loses appeal fast.

You will get addicted easily. Great for veteran players and - I imagine - a great introduction to new players.
Fantastic mix of open-world and Dark Souls.
Positives:
Lots of things to find; always feels rewarding to explore and talk to everyone.
Open world is very well executed. Very little mandatory requirements to finish the game. There are many options how to continue. You never really feel lost or clueless.
Bosses (with a few exceptions) are very well designed and unique. Two fights especially are super badass.
Replayability is very high. Any build feels viable thanks to some new mechanics.
NPC Questlines are super interesting, sometimes funny, sometimes tragic. There are different endings tied to them that you can explore.
Co-op with friends works pretty good.
Lots of quality of life improvements.
Minor negatives:
A bit too many platforming sections. Jumping often feels janky on foot and mount.
Mini dungeons feel repetitive after a while.
Some fights were a bit too easy from my perspective (FromSoftware veteran).
Final boss is underwhelming.

Good zombie killing coop game with some challange.
Physics and animations still better than most AAA-games today.

Fantastic platforming game.
Every year the same game. Only fun with friends and in small doses.
As great as the original. Better visual and sound is top-notch.
Bought it multiple times. Never finished it.
Great game, but a bit too bland and long to 100%. You kinda lose yourself in the world and lose track of main quest.

Very fun and challanging rogue-like with friends. A bit buggy and still unfinished when I played it. Difficulty spikes enormously.
2018
Life is Cringe. Characters are stereotypical and predictable.
2011
Fun, challanging rogue-like. Rebirth (remake) is now strictly better.
A bit fun with friends, but meh. Just the game you expect it to be.
Revolutionary game. Everyone played it, never was my cup of tea.
Lots of community maps and mods.

Decent game, not as good as the other ones.

Extremely fun and trolly with friends.
Hilarious characters and interactions. Good spell design and combos.

Fun with friends. High nostalgia.
