Is this game better played solo or with a friend?

I know very little about the game in order not to get any spoiler, but I'd like to know the opinion of you who have already played it if its an experience worthsharing with a friend or I am having a better time on my own. Ofcourse building "our" ship is way more exciting than building "mine", however the game seem to have a heavy and touching story that may be better enjoyed on my own pace.

Imo you should play it solo.
The story and characters are so much more impactful when you can really invest yourself in them.

I think it could be best enjoyed with a friend if your friend is fine going the same pace that you want to go go at. I've done both (co-op and solo) and while I loved my Solo adventure, I definitely can say that co-op would have been a much better time for me I think.

It can vary. I'm going through the xbox platform, so as a result I've got a playthrough with my wife and a playthrough by myself. They're both rewarding for different reasons to me.

She has told me she doesn't want to play it without me (as she's...kinda bad at platformers). I mostly encouraged her to play since her career goal was hospice care as a pastor. I figured it'd be relevant on an emotional level. :)

personally i feel like this is a game that works much better being played solo, as playing with someone could take away from your focus on the games characters, which is a big part of what the games about

On the contrary, you get to watch the absolutely amazing animations of cat doing all the various crafting actions:

I found coop to be a generally more pleasant experience as you can perform most of your ship duties 2x faster and spend more time adventuring.
