The description claims game works with a controller. But my PS5 controller doesn't work out of the box. You need to tinker with something, adjust something somewhere. Unfortunately, I couldn't do it.

I've been playing this game with my wife for two evenings now and couldn't share the total admiration for it in the reviews.

I'll start with the positives.

+1. On the positive side, I liked the game's visual style.

+2. The split-screen feature is definitely a good choice. It's very convenient. And the controls in this game are generally good.

+3. The character respawn system is quite merciful.

And now the negatives.

-1. Firstly, the gameplay experience is completely monotonous.
The entire game consists of physical obstacles that must be overcome with jumps, tricks, and so on.
All these jumps and tricks require good control of the gamepad.
My wife can't grasp this, and for her, a gamepad and computer games in general are not exactly a familiar experience. She finds it difficult.
And in this game, you can only progress through a balanced, collaborative effort. If one player can't keep up, you'll just get stuck.
So our entire gameplay is structured around me having to play through difficult sections for both myself and my wife, as she can't handle it and the game is quite challenging for her.
I have to either wait and watch my wife struggle and fail, or pick up a gamepad and play for her. Where's the satisfaction in that?
And in the areas where we have to act simultaneously, we struggle for long, as I can't handle both controllers at the same time.
And so it goes the entire game. The same thing. The same mechanics. After two evenings, I'm tired of it. It's not relaxation; it's like having a second job.
Each chapter concludes with a powerful boss.
But fighting them is difficult not only for my wife but also for me.

We were exhausted fighting the first boss with a vacuum cleaner, so if we both die, all the damage we dealt to him is reset, and we have to start over.
I feel like a stupid, failing schoolchild who has to do the same pointless task 10 times, intending to do it well.

-2. Secondly, this entire plot built around a divorcing couple of parents who have turned into dolls... well, it feels like some kind of cheap emotional manipulation and propaganda for preserving marriages. In fact, this has nothing to do with the game mechanics directly. It's just a backstory, apparently trying to evoke pity from the player. I don't approve of this.

-3. The game doesn't evoke positive emotions. It's not funny, not interesting. It seems to be trying to touch on family values ​​through emotions, but to me, that's a cheap trick. We couldn't find a way to enjoy this game. We just run, jump, and complete meaningless tasks. The game is boring.

This my first ever review on Steam. I haven't used Steam or played games through Steam in almost 20 years. But one guy showed this game to my friend. My friend really liked it and showed it to me. It's not a solo game, but purely a group game. A "party game," basically.
This game captivated me so much that I revived my old Steam account from 20 years ago to buy it. I also bought 4 DualShocks to play with friends. After that, I started looking for more similar games.
I don't understand why this game has so few reviews. It's truly a Steam masterpiece.
Yes, this isn't a game you can play solo in the evenings. This is a game for parties with friends, playing together on one screen. And you won't spend the entire evening playing it. Literally 1-2 rounds are enough. But this is the best game, and now we always open our parties with friends with this game.
This game is simple and easy to play. Adults, teenagers, and children can play it. I also play it with my son. The tutorial takes 5-10 minutes. In its very small niche, this is simply a pearl. The best I've seen.
