Reviews from across the web
Rated it among the best 3D platformers since Super Mario Odyssey, praising how often it brings in new co-operative ideas.
Called it a standout co-op adventure with a constant stream of fresh gameplay ideas and an emotional story about a couple's split, though the core platforming is less reliable than it should be.
Found the Switch version a satisfying port of a strong co-op game, with forgiving platforming and constant new mechanics, though the visuals are downgraded and the cutscenes long.

Safety & parental controls
Online play is only with a friend who has joined through the Friend's Pass on the same platform; EA's page describes no matchmaking with strangers, and I found no mention of built-in chat, so most pairs talk over a console or app voice chat. An EA account is required (on Steam it is linked to your Steam account). Content: cartoonish fantasy violence, mild coarse language and a storyline about a couple's divorce, rated PG in Australia and T in the US.
