Co-op

I would highly recommend this game for anyone looking for a casual couch co-op (apparently they do online as well now) puzzler.
90 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
You will have to complete the whole Story and the whole Party mode, find all Secrets on the Story mode, with some others actions to do to get the achievements.
66 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
You can't play with 2 players online, being each at home (unless you use Steam Remote Play of course !)
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
Although the initial puzzles are nice and simple, the difficulty certainly increases to the point where carefully thinking through your movements is essential.
