Nice to see Insomniac taking notes from Sucker Punch's playbook—this co-op addition could be the perfect excuse to dive back into that gorgeous world with friends. Hope they nail the class variety and keep that folklore flavor strong
Honestly, I love that Insomniac is leaning into co-op with a supernatural twist—it feels like a natural evolution from the solo experience. Can't wait to see what kind of wild survival missions they cook up for this.
