This is actually a well crafted, difficult co-op game. It's a cool experience that really forces you to engage with whoever you're playing with, and isn't just a cute gimme game for one person who plays games and another who's never touched one before. There are similarities to Getting Over It, but with Bread & Fred, you aren't actively fighting against the controls to win.

There are a lot of accessibility options if the game feels too frustrating, and it's quite rewarding being in total sync while mastering the simple mechanics the game throws at you. There are some intense moments of frustration when you realize a pitfall takes you so far back but the game doesn't begin feeling prohibitively difficult until the last section or so. What ends up hurting it most is the length considering how simple the mechanics are.
