What players say
A great classic game that provides amazing challenges for you and your friends together. Each level is its own area you need to clear that has additional challenges you can meet for more "Crystals" that are used to unlock more skills. This game is an amazing Co-op game with buddies and the depths of the challenges adds to much additional play time to try and get everything.
1 more review, not recommended
There are some good components to this game, but so many more that are terrible. It has fun co-op mechanics and puzzles that require teamwork and coordination, which is fun. However, the game is riddles with insanely frustrating mechanics. Enemies that chain CC you, preventing you from playing the game as you'll often die and have to wait for a respawn anyway. Challenges can be fun, but the way they're implemented...
