Cons
Con Poor story in second act
The second act of the game has an increasingly incoherent story that explains very little of what is going on. Considering the first act ends with a cliffhanger and many questions to be asked, to see the second half explain almost none of it makes for a frustrating story.
Con Rather little variation in combat/gameplay
After you've fought your first fight, you've practically seen them all. There are no real boss fights like in Trine 2, the only distinction is made between shooty-wights and stabby-wights.
Con Co-op not as good as single player
Though there is support for local co-op, the game feels as though it works best as a single player title. This can be limiting to those that are only going to play single player.
