    With simplistic controls ensuring gameplay is easy to pick up for players of all ages, a smoothly spoken narrative pushing the story along at the perfect pace and plenty of interesting puzzles found throughout, this is one cooperative puzzler that offers a memorable and enjoyable experience.

    If you're looking for a fun couch co-op game, then Degrees of Separation is a lovely 2D puzzle platformer that should definitely be experienced. The beautiful hand drawn backdrops, great music, with interesting narrative that cleverly tied into the game mechanics made this a pleasure to play, but at times the platforming and the puzzles can sometimes be frustrating and ruin the fun. At a mere $29.99 CDN, playing Degrees of Separation makes for a cheap (but fun!) date night in with your Player 2.

    It would’ve been nice to have been challenged more because even though I enjoyed the puzzles, none of them required much effort to solve. FromIt would’ve been nice to have been challenged more because even though I enjoyed the puzzles, none of them required much effort to solve. From the moment I began Degrees of Separation I was captured by the superb art style and the adventure at hand. Both the visuals and sound design definitely had a lot of time devoted to them. At the core this game is a puzzle game with platform elements combined and thankfully, the puzzles have been done well overall. The puzzles have been done well enough that I was prepared to look past the lack of difficulty and focused solely on the creativity within each of the puzzles. The environments had a ton of creativity and this meant exploration rarely got dull, all thought it was a nit cumbersome when I had to backtrack a few times during my play through. Degrees of Separation gets another nod, because everything runs smoothly and each mechanic is worthwhile and doesn’t hold the game back. I do have a couple of complaints though, as it isn’t a perfect experience but I could look past the lack of depth in the story and the backtracking because everything else is done well. In summary, this then means that recommending Degrees of Separation isn't difficult because it offers you a fun and enjoyable experience, I will say my time with the game was enjoyed playing with someone else, and I’m sure fans of this particular game will enjoy the single player and multiplayer aspects it offers.… Full Review »
