What players say
88% of 103,044 reviews are positive · 87% of 547 in the last 30 days
Players praise the two-player split-screen design, varied cooperative activities, and a cinematic story whose final chapter has a strong impact. The most common complaint is the required EA app and account, which some players say prevent launching or connecting; others find the controls clunky, the gameplay too simple, or the ending disappointing.
