The WhatsNext verdict
For Platformer enthusiasts and challenge seekers looking for an intense mental and mechanical coordination test.: Piloting two characters at the exact same time transforms standard platforming into an absorbing brain-teaser, requiring you to rewire your reflexes and develop unique rhythmic muscle memory. Tradeoff: The punishing difficulty, sparse checkpoints, and severe cognitive overload mean frequent restarts and potential mental exhaustion for anyone seeking a conventional or relaxed platformer.
