The verdict
A campy 1930s mummy-shooting co-op romp with a great narrator and look, but repetitive and shallow. Skip it at full price or if you'll play solo.
Great for
Friend groups wanting a light, campy co-op shooter with easy puzzles, bought on a deep sale
Main risk
Repetitive, shallow gameplay that gets stale fast, especially solo or at full price
