It's really hard to rate this game. I wish I could say I loved it, but I don't.

Don't get me wrong, I think the gameplay here is really solid. Playing with my girlfriend to complete puzzles, compete, and just have fun together is really great. The problem is not the gameplay.

The story, however, is shockingly poor. The writing feels lazy and actively annoying. The characters are unlikeable, their conflict frustrating, and their dialogue cringeworthy. They act less like parents with reasonable conflicting perspectives and more like spoiled children. This makes progression somewhat bittersweet since the gameplay always stays fresh while the actual plot progression feels forced, messy, and annoying. I get the story isn't the point here, but it's constantly inserting itself, so it's really hard to ignore
