Is it still worth playing?

Starbreeze Studios' 2013 adventure, in which two young brothers set out through a fantasy world of orcs and trolls to find a cure for their father's illness. It is seen from a third person view, and you move the two brothers individually with the two thumbsticks. The triggers make each one interact with the world, such as grabbing a ledge. The older brother is stronger and can pull levers or boost his younger brother up, while the younger can pass between narrow bars. You progress by controlling both at once through puzzles that need them to do different things, such as one distracting a hostile character while the other sneaks around. If either falls from a height or is hurt, the game returns to a recent checkpoint. Controlling both brothers at once makes every puzzle a matter of cooperation, as it still does.
