    We were into the game primarily for the mechanics and environment. The way the world split between the players was beautiful and a core part of collecting scarves spread all over the 5 worlds and the castle (a nexus between the worlds)

    The mechanics in each of the 5 worlds were very innovative, something we had not seen in any other game.

    We felt this game hit a perfect balance with the complexity of puzzles. At no time did the puzzles feel too easy, or too convoluted. Mechanics of each world were introduced with just the right difficulty, after which they could be applied to solve other puzzles of gradually increasing complexity. Eureka moments were plenty, and they repeatedly reminded us of the thought that went into designing the puzzles, and crafting the world accordingly.
    As the game was kind of turn based i.e. one player moves and then the other, coop becomes a relaxed affair. Otherwise, coop usually boils down to accurate split-second timing, positioning, etc. which takes away the fun part of a game.

    The number of elements that constituted the puzzles are minimal, limited pretty much to moving doors and ropes, but the number of ways these were used together with each world's mechanic resulted in interesting puzzles.

    Story was something that could not interest us, but the gameplay certainly made up for that.

    This game may not be challenging enough for some, but was certainly worth a complete play-through without feeling redundant or boring anywhere.    … Expand

    Story = Never did I see a 2d puzzle game having such an amazing story that has a direct metaphore for falling in love (shes a hot girl, hes a cold person, they complete impossible situations together)
    The graphics = are the best 2d looking game I saw on my PS4 pro.
    The music which is rare these days were done right with good sound design, you will not mistake "his jump" and "her jump" since they each have their own voice.
    The gameplay = you jump arround solving puzzles only, which I didn't think I would like since I dislike puzzle game but this is the only puzzle game I didn't hate.
    The overall game was longer than I anticipated for this kind of game which means it has a lot of content (took me arround 10 hours to get each and every puzzle done).
    Overall I give this great game that I got for only 10$ a score that complement its low price of 10 out of 10 for a 10 and you get about 10 hours of game.
    BUY IT NOW.    … Expand

    Degrees of Separation is a very enjoyable puzzle-based game, better played in coop. It’s very original and has a very interesting open structure, but it needs a wider variety of puzzles to prevent it from becoming a little bit repetitive.

    Degrees of Separation is difficult to judge. It features a traditional side-scrolling progression with hand-drawn graphic, but it’s somehow limited by its own design. This brings to a lot of puzzles that are actually frustrating instead of brain-ticklers. But this game also features an incredible fairy-tale atmosphere together with a great soundtrack. And are these features that save it from the abyss. But only from it.
