I have been playing pretty much exclusively co-op with the partner, and we've been having a blast. All of the day 1 issues we were having vanished quickly, and things work really well. The game is great, and the system they have for resolving resyncs and ingame crashes is really robust, we've rarely had an issue that didn't resolve after a one minute reboot (except the running hot thing, but that's at least manageable).

But the only crashes that actually seem to cause lasting damage are the ones that happen at the exact moment you press the button to 'dismount' the game after winning it and get to the Pantheon screen. I reloaded the session and tried again, you get the XP but you don't get the chance to recruit your Godir to the Pantheon.

I've gone through two seperate games, long and brutal games, with versions of this same Godir, and both times I've had her snatched away right when she should join the pantheon. It's really frustrating because I have had my fill of the playstyle and don't really want to like, cheese a tiny 1v1 to get it through. This was the game where I lost 60 units swarming down an enemy throne, it was fantastic.

Pantheon bugs are the only ones that the game can't seem to reconcile. We sent the crash reports and there isn't anything to be done at this point, but I needed to vent the frustration.
