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.
