Currently I LOVE this game its a neat little game thats deffinitly fun to play with a friend and is still pretty fun with the challenges and probably the campaign as well (havnt played it yet) the little halloween event to get the plague doctor armor is hard but cool I can see why some people may complain about the controls but they feel fine to me personally I have not found a problem with blocking like with some people but i think they may just be attacking right before the weapon hits theirs (I do that alot) and as for the ai speeding up i have not encoutered anything like that except for when they kinda combo you by swinging then bashing you to stun and swinging right after (you can also do that) I would say to get it at half price or lower if your planning to go solo but if you have a friend or two that want to play as well id say the price is ok.
