Such a gripping, coop video game; possibly the most interesting, visually striking, and thought-out coop game I've ever played. Before I get into it, I just wanna say; I absolutely love the director of this game Josef Fares; I've played all of his games so far (as of January 2022) and think each one is a damn fine masterpiece. Please keep making games Josef!!!

Anyways, I can't think of a better game designed for coop. A literal cinematic masterpiece imbedded in awesome gameplay, with a jail escape level that reminded me of scenes I've seen in prison films (for example Escape from Alcatraz). There's also plenty of cool secret interactions that adds to the discovery experience, and of course, that duel in the ending... which had me clutching.... So... damn... hard. I ended up played this all in one night with my friend, and then played it a second time in a night with my brother, each time playing as the other character. If you have any impartial interest to couch coop games, like I do, I'll give my highest recommendation to play this pronto.
