Played this with my eight-year-old brother (I'm eighteen) who is not the brightest person overall but they just really don't click with video games (they play a lot, they're just not very good for their age) so there were some parts of the game that were frustrating because I had to help them figure out their puzzle and they just couldn't get it and didn't understand how dependent we both are on eachother. Thankfully, as it progressed, they got better. But if you play with someone who isn't my little brother, I don't think there will be much of a problem. This is THE game for casual gamers. Nothing ever seemed too difficult nor too easy.

I don't think the ending was fully earned but the story is quite nice and the characters are likeable and well-written. They actually feel like a real couple who's reason for divorce is very layered. These layers are uncovered through each level and WOW!

The gameplay in each level is truly wonderful. Each level introduces a new mechanic and it really keeps the game so fresh and constantly exciting. It never felt like it was doing too much or just straight-up copying other games. It managed to feel unique while also exuding a feeling of familiarity -- if that makes sense?

Also, the minigames are fun and we're gonna go back and find the six we didn't find.

The "Fuck the Oscars" easter egg got a good laugh out of me and my little brother couldn't understand why.
