What players say

93% of 17,459 reviews are positive · 86% of 66 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the puzzle variety, co-op play, and large selection of community-made rooms. Common complaints include simplistic or repetitive puzzles, physics and interaction bugs that can block progress, multiplayer desynchronization, and DLC requiring every co-op participant to own it; some players also object to main-menu ads.
