    Absolutely loved this game. Funny commentary, smooth split screen view and easy is movement that most split screen games lack. Loved the puzzles and game mechanics so much so I went and bough it takes two from the same developers. Can’t wait to see what they create next

    Son and I have a great time playing this game! Good story and concept! Five stars if it came with a physical game but not a deal breaker for me.

    Great game - bad packaging

    This is an extraordinary game. Really one of the best of this year BUT -2 stars because this packaging is terribly deceitful You are NOT getting any physical game card here! It is is a download code on a piece of paper. in a box. And nothing documented on the front packaging or online is clearly explaining that. I think Best Buy is going to have an awful time with returns on this from many customers because of this. Good news: the download code will work if you use it. But I think seeing a code in a box should make people who prefer physical games quite mad to see this. Particularly when the information concerning this is nowhere present except online reviews like this Do play this game - but skip buying it from Best Buy in this form factor.

    Love this game, it performs excellent on the Switch 2. Definitely my favorite two player coop game in years. Only gripe is….. once i got the game home sbd opened it…. There was no cart, just a redeemable code for the game. I drove across town to get this particular version of the game because i always prefer physical games. This was a massive let down. If it were me running Nintendo, I wouldn’t make it very simple. Digital only games, games that are available physical and digital, then physical only. Why orint a box with a piece of paper. It’s ridiculous

    This game has seriously blown me away. I was a fan of It Takes Two, but the whole duel gameplay thing has been seriously perfected here. Switch 2 version is 75 gb, so that is likely why this is a code in the box game and couldn’t fit on a 64gb cartridge. No complaints on quality, runs smoothly with breathtaking graphics. I highly recommend this gane

    Buyer Beware - No physical game!

    Specifications list this game as “Physical” on Best Buy’s website. However, it should say “Physical (Download Code” as this game only comes with a download code.

    My kids are playing this all the time. I love that they are working together to achieve something. Great mini puzzle game. Down side is that it swears and I’m not a fan of my little picking up on the swears.

    Wonderful Co-op game by the team behind "It Takes Two" works great on the Switch 2. Best Buy Price matched the digital version and with pick-up I did not have to pay for shipping either.

    Really great game! It has been fun so far playing with my partner. The only reason I’m taking down a star because I would have appreciated a physical game card instead of just a digital code.

    The game is so much fun I have no qualms with it. The thing I dont like is the bait and switch with having a digital code and no physical cartridge in the case. I understand that there’s tiny fine print on gbe front stating the cartridge isn’t included but come on.

    This is a great couch co-op game. Doesn't run the best on the Switch 2, but it's not overly concerning.

    Combination of serious storytelling and whimsy. Some parts are very straightforward and others quite challenging as far as gameplay.

    Playing this game with my husband for Christmas was so much fun. We love playing puzzle games together and this checks the box. The story line is a cool concept as well which is very important for us to stay engaged in a game. Overall, great gameplay. The only thing is sometimes the graphics threw us off but it wasn't a big deal.

    If you were a fan of “It Takes Two” then this game is must have! Great and dynamic co-op play, amazing levels and environments and a complex, emotional story as well.
