The verdict

A charming, short co-op platformer where each stick controls one robot leg, great for laughs with a partner or kid. Skip it if you play solo, hate fiddly controls, or need online co-op to work.

Great for

Couples, friends and parents with kids who want a silly, short couch co-op session on controllers

Main risk

Online co-op often fails to connect or lags, and the awkward controls frustrate some players
