How it plays
Two players can play the whole campaign together, and with shared progression both keep their items and progress.
Friends match up by entering the same password at a checkpoint, across PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
Only the host needs to own the game, because the partner can join with the free Friend's Pass.
Combat is hard and deliberate, and invasions by other players can be switched off.
