The verdict
A clever asymmetric agent/hacker co-op puzzler that's great fun with a friend, but short and plagued by long-standing bugs. Skip it if you want long content or lack a partner.
Great for
Couples and friends who enjoy Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes or We Were Here style communication puzzles
Main risk
Game-breaking desync bugs (esp. Mission 5) in a very short game, or being blocked from servers in Russia
What players love
Clever, varied puzzles and missions
Mentioned in ~1 in 4 positive reviews
“I was really impressed by just how many clever little ways they came up with for the players to interact- hardly a dud in the minigame batch”

Too short for the price
Mentioned in ~1 in 4 negative reviews
“Disappointingly short? Only about 3 hours of gameplay total. Maybe for $5-10 but at $20 this is more expensive than going to the movies.”

Hacker role is dull and timing/lag frustrates
Mentioned in ~1 in 15 negative reviews
“The majority of the "hacker" gameplay is absolutely boring and annoying, waiting for a real hacker on the ground to make the main part.”
