Yeah. It's got semi-randomized levels (so you won't see 100% of the content in one go), and it's pretty intense.
I haven't played it since right after launch, but the bosses were a bit weird (some were absolute nightmares, some were push overs, some almost required a specific gear setup) and multiplayer was really not meant for randoms. I had fun though.
I agree with you. I finished in coop 3 times and it was fun.
However it's not even close the souls quality.
Just adding up:
At least on launch it had a lot of glitches and network problems, also because of the randomized aspect, with bad luck, you could even finish the game twice and skip some of the bosses... They added a option reroll stages and even with that you had to reroll a couple of times to get different bosses.
The art style is kinda bad and the armors and guns are not cool or unique. Nonetheless the graphics are bad and the performance on ps4 was kinda garbage... DKS3 looks and plays way better for example.
Also the class system and character builds are ok... Just that, they add to little to the game. Most stages consists of enemies ahead of you, then magically a couple of enemies gank you from the flank and behind... On coop that becomes trivial, on sp it is annoying and unfair.
Finally the story hypes itself a little but it ends going nowhere.
