It's a nice quick little co-op experience that thankfully is as short as it is bland. If it weren't for it's speedy conclusion, as well as the fact that you have to play it with a friend, my rating of the game would have gone way down.

The story is very generic and the main characters are basically two wooden planks trying to emote like humans. Gameplay wise there is a wide variety of half-baked stuff that the game commands you to do.

I get that the story dictates the game's structure to be very strict. Meaning that every objective is fixed and the choices the game offers you are fake as the results are always the same. But personally I would have liked more freedom in how you go about achieving the objectives given to you by the game.

For example, instead of giving the players a puzzle with a single solution; utilize a sandbox approach to the puzzle by giving the players multiple tools to achieve their goals. This would make the gameplay more engaging and it would enhance the cooperative gameplay by actually making the players work together and discuss possible solutions.

At the end of the day, or evening considering the games 6 hour runtime, it's a nice little game to play with a friend someday. As with all things, no matter how boring, you can make anything fun with the right friend by your side.
