Pros
Pro Teamwork is essential
Each character has different skills and weapons that must be used in tandem to solve puzzles.
Pro Lots of puzzles
The game offers a wide variety of puzzles. You must use the two characters’ different skills in combination to solve them, which requires a good bit of critical thinking.
Cons
Con Puzzles can be simplistic
The puzzles are often easy to solve; implementing the solution may be more difficult than figuring it out.
Con Story is somewhat weak
The plot is cheesy and not very memorable. It’s only real purpose is to set up the various scenarios and puzzles that you have to solve.
Con Poor dialogue
The dialogue in the game definitely took a back seat. It is often cheesy and doesn’t flesh out the game world or the characters very well.
