Maybe I'm exaggerating, still this coop puzzle is simply great, fun and entertaining.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The Story mode is very well thought out : we start with fairly simple puzzles and it increases in difficulty with each level.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
New mechanics are introduced smoothly, with tutorial levels - no complaints there.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It stands well above the average when it comes to indie puzzle games and features a big chunk of content, challenging but not unfair difficulty, and even a surprisngly well voice-acted narration that injects humour and personality into the game.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The atmosphere and graphics are quite simple and effective, everything is linked to robotics !
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
However, if you like puzzle games on thier own and you have a quieter friend to play with, the 1-2 player mode is a calmer, nicer distraction with added value through the mode-exclusive voice acting.
