How it plays
Co-op works best when players split duties, one gathering and building while others explore and gear up for the next boss.
Boss fights need coordination, but the digging and building in between is easy to chat over.
PlayStation and Xbox offer four-player split-screen and a docked Switch two-player; on PC each player needs their own copy and screen.
