Critic Reviews
By Łukasz Ankudo
Degrees of Separation is a great co-op game that requires second set of hands, even though you can play it by yourself. It's full of short, but demanding puzzles and requires a bit of thinking to collect every single scarf in the game.

In a way, game mechanics of Degrees of Separation keep you from having a fun, immersive experience. The collecting of scarves takes you out of the story, which is unfortunate. The narrator continually gives you clues and story exposition, but it's easy to ignore as you get knee deep in finding the scarves. It's a shame, really. The narrator's voice acting is lovely and the story is very sweet and endearing. It's a fantasy story with star crossed lovers that can't be together. The focus should be on the story and not finding scarves. Degrees of Separation can be enjoyed in small bursts, but overall it's hard to recommend.

Degrees of Separation has a great hook that it, unfortunately, squanders through mindless, repetitive puzzle solving.

Degrees of Separation is a challenging 2D puzzle-platformer with a unique core gameplay premise.

However, too many negatives just leave you underwhelmed. Whether it's the lack of polish, the short playtime length, or the number of weird bugs that can leave you completely frustrated. As it is, there are too many good 2D platformers on Switch to recommend it unless you're playing it with someone who really finds the presentation speaks to them.
