Ehhh. I'm gonna finish it but I'm not very impressed so far.
Was playing this with Curits. First of all - FUCK the in game audio. I was having serious sound problems where Curtis sounded like dog shit and was repeating the first two words of his mouth constantly. I couldn't understand a single sentence he was saying. This would not be a problem... if there was a way to mute the other player during the game. You cannot. That's an oversight. i understand this is a co-op only game, but tbqh, vocal communication is NOT a necessary part of this game. We could have just Skyped and played but that was not an option.
But yeah, this is another one of those "go to this marker and press this button here" sort of games. There is no challenge whatsoever. The game tells you where to go and what to do and you do it, that's it. There's a few stealth scenes but they're all pretty easy and - again - pretty much tell you what you need to do without you needing to figure anything out for yourself. This would be ok if the story was engrossing but it isn't.
I do appreciate the Shawshank callbacks. There's a lot of references to it and I enjoyed them. There's also some fun teamwork puzzles that I like a lot, such as the back-to-back wall climb. But again, they don't come very often.
Think we just reached the midpoint before calling a break. Hopefully it gets better.

I just watched the video in OP for the first time and now I'm actually kind of excited. The game looks like it gets way better when you're out of prison, which is the point we just reached.
