Only complaint is that, like others have said, sometimes your character having a physical body in the game causes some mishaps when interacting with the world like climbing ladders and whatnot. However, I think these issues are vastly overshadowed by how much fun it is to break a box over a zombie's head, headshot an Omniprojector at long range using a handgun, or repeatedly stab a Crablet with a shortsword.

Valve can still make masterpieces.

This game is fun and satisfying as hell. Block hits, swing back, dodge heavy blows, and you've got a pretty decent arsenal of weapons to unlock and mix and match (since you hold one in each hand at any time)

Don't read the negative reviews. The vast majority of them are a bunch of "This game's too hard" kinda reviews.

The game runs well from every computer I've had it on (5 now) with almost no glitches (there was only one I came across regarding duct taping two guns together, but after emptying the clip of this gun combo I was able to keep firing) and very easy to get into.

The beginning is pretty standard. Go through a short tutorial on the game, learn about the buttons, weapons, dodge rolling mechanics, etc. After that, you can run through the gungeon as many times as you want, and runs are typically around an hour long from floor 1 to 5 (if you go to the secret floors it will be longer, but rewarding more loot to use later on). Most complaints I see from the game are you don't ever have enough keys, and the drop rate after clearing a room is terrible, which are true. However, the game was made like this on purpose, as usually you want to clear the full floor before deciding to open chests. Chests have tiers, you see, and finding plain brown ones reward you with D tier loot (which still has good weapons mind you, such as the Regular Shotgun, my favorite gun in the game) but this lets you choose between opening a brown chest or, if you found a black chest (the best one) opening that. Saying you don't have enough keys is meaningless, because you don't always need them.

The other complaint is the drop system. A screenshot of a discord chat with one of the Devs can be found here: http://imgur.com/a/rUeIV ...that explains a lot about drop rates, the "coolness" perk, things like that. If you're not fond of links, the drop rate begins at 1%, but every room you clear without a drop it increases by some amount up to 80%, so you WILL get a drop eventually. It then resets back to 1%.

My summary of game and why you should get it (if you like dungeon crawlers with guns)? Tons of guns, seamless, flowing controls, great humor, local coop (2 player), lots of great secrets, and great, longlasting fun.

This game has struck a chord with me. Go lone wolf or join a platoon/squad to plan strategic attacks on the enemies, all the while levelling up and earning those oh so glorious cert points. Don't pass up this game.
