I feel pretty meh about this game, but there is no meh rating here. So, going to thumb it down instead.

Co-op? No, not really. I mean, yes, it is co-op in the sense that it takes three guys co-operating on a rope to hoist a piano by a pulley. But, that's about as much co-op you get here. No interesting decision points for anyone but the most dominant player. So, co-op? Yes. Co-op game? No.

This would be better classified as a foreman/grunt game. Really, that's all you need: One person solving the puzzle and 1 or 3 grunts willing to do as they are told, step by excruciating step. Thus, if you love to prove you are the smartest puzzle solver in the room, you will equivalently love this game. The rest of us, however, smartest in the room or not, we know those types, and this game quickly becomes dull. (To be clear, I enjoy co-op when everyone is free to wack about with their various skills, and still, somehow, get things done. This is not that game. Co-op works best on fuzzy puzzles--not finite puzzles like those found here.)

There could maybe be some interesting co-op speed running potential here, but speed is not a very promoted element of the game. It's hard to imagine 2 or 4 four people dedicating time to such a shallow game on that front but, well, I suppose there may be a minute few.

As a single-player puzzle game? Also, meh.

I seriously doubt I'll put any more time into this game even though I am primarily a social gamer and not much of a solo gamer.
