Gameplay

The gameplay is great, but in my opinion, It Takes Two is still better in many ways.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
144 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story does weave in personality of both characters quite well, despite the story being somewhat disconnected early on, only properly shining through during the third act.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
134 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
To me, this is the core of why we play co-op games.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
67 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals are very impressive, so it really just deepens the disappointment.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
These flaws hold the game short of its potential, but ultimately it all clicks in the last third, where the difficulty finally gets where it should be, the levels combine all the gimmicks you've slowly been taught, and the story beats, even if predictable, land because they're timeless rather than timeworn, and supported by excellent art, music, and voice acting.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound design deserves a mention too, and it is not just me saying that.
