Is it still worth playing?

A 2019 2.5D puzzle platformer in which Amadeus the wizard, Zoya the thief and Pontius the knight go after Prince Selius, whose nightmares are taking physical form. You switch between the three heroes at any time. Amadeus conjures boxes, spheres and planks and moves objects with his mind. Zoya ties ropes to swing from or to make bridges and has a bow, while Pontius smashes things, stomps and turns his shield to deflect projectiles and beams. Most of it is physics puzzles in single rooms, where the goal is in sight and there are several ways to reach it, between scripted fights and bosses. Optional skills bought with tokens add new ways to solve puzzles, and earlier levels can be replayed with them. It can be played alone or with friends, over about twelve hours. The puzzles are why it holds up now, since the three heroes' tools combine in several ways to reach the same goal.
