Great puzzle and coop game: an original concept and mechanics that make for an amazing coop experience. The game actually feels like it was meant to be played by two people and not a single player with an add-on.
I started playing it with my partner and became frustrated. After a long time, we picked it up again and loved it: puzzles can be frustrating, but it's only a natural side of puzzles, not bad development. Besides, you don't need to solve EVERYTHING and it's easy to go back and retry what you missed.
The storytelling is beautiful and the mechanics reinforce the narrative and coop experience perfectly.
Very satisfactory experience all in all

Requires an ability to be able to form coherent thoughts in order to solve puzzles.
Also, you may find yourself humping several things by attempting to make your character climb up a wall and such... What? You ever tried it? It's fun! (According to guys *nod*)
The question you should be asking yourself... Do you really want to put ice and fire together?
I just wanted to fly on that dragon... But he was like "nope"... EH!
OH and yeah, you can play this game by yourself. What are friends, right?
Keep, keep, keep GOING!
