I noticed there is no thread on here about this game (apart from a question about getting the gamepad to work) so thought it was worth creating one.
I completed this at the start of last year with my son, and as a rule I don't replay story-driven games. However he really wanted to play it again so we started again.
I think it's an excellent game, proper co-op puzzles married to a nice art style, humour, silly minigames, varied level design (helped by having different unique skills on different levels) etc. The storyline is kind of silly but it tugs at the heartstrings a bit at the same time - they've basically managed to make a game about an everyday problem (marital breakdown) feel fun and interesting against that backdrop. I'd really recommend people try this game in co-op (included in game pass / EA play if you have that). I'm not a fan of platform games but despite having a lot of parkour it keeps things fun with the little puzzles and being pretty forgiving about deaths (it's rare you lose much progress due to dying).
I'm sat here trying to think of the last game I played that was this good and really struggling to come up with something recent, maybe Doom (2016) or AC: Black Flag. Whilst inevitably the game doesn't hit quite as hard second time around, it's quite nice to race through it a bit more without worrying too much about cutscenes, or getting stuck as often with the puzzles.
