Shadow Puppeteer is a beautiful, unique and interesting platformer. It's great fun to play with a friend, and was to me surprisingly fluent single player as well. Controlling both characters at the same time creates for a very cool dynamic. I adore the art style, and I think the cutscenes are fantastic. The music is also really good, and creates a very nice atmosphere. Yes, the game has some flaws, but to me…

I've tried this game both as co-op and single player and even though the game shines brightest when playing co-op, it baffles my mind how so many dismiss the single player as unplayable. The closest comparison I could find is that controlling both characters at the same time is like playing an instrument (piano, guitar, etc); you have to disconnect your hands from each other to play them right. It's not something…

It should also be fun playing a game, not just hard and annoying controlling 2 characters. Nice idea, even graphics, but frustrating to repeat same tedious movements of boxes and items, with plenty of occasions to fail and start over. Annoyance took soon place over the fun part.
