It looks really cool and with such a neat way of interacting.
Definitely want to play it at some point.

So keeping away from reviews but seems to be a combination of some really high ratings and a few low ones. I partially read one low one though and part of the bad score was because "No AI to take control and be able to play single player". Like really? I consider that a plus.
Also I heard if you speed through the storyline, it takes around 6 hours. If you play normally and enjoy the ride per say, can be about 9-10 hours. For a <$30 game, that's solid gameplay. As much as having long gameplay is great, I think a shorter gametime (at a reasonable cost) can really work also.

Just finished the play-through with my friend. It was an incredible experience. There were a lot of different, unique scenarios we found ourselves in, and the way they implemented the co-op function was amazing. It really felt like you were working with someone rather than just playing with someone. It took us about 6 hours to finish.
Yes, you can get paired with a random even if you're in the middle of the game. There are different "chapters" that are basically the checkpoints of the game.
I would recommend it, even for $30, if you have a friend to play with (as only one of you needs to buy the game for both to play), but if it ever goes on sale, definitely get it then.

The split screen coop version of this game looks awful. You actually hear the dialogue from both players missions at the same time from what ives seen.
Well guess that's tough for you since i'm pretty sure it split screens on either local or online. 
Such a dumb criticism too, especially considering if you do activate two dialogues at once, the other player is tuned down significantly.
I played the first couple hours of it with my friend tonight. I love it. A unique, albeit simple take on co-op style gameplay. Favorite part so far is either the climbing up the shaft back to back (I got serious Mario and Luigi throwback nostalgia since that's the place where I first seen that idea) or the boat going down the rapids. Crashing into rocks has never been so fun.
I assume Gamespot gave this a 6 because their writers were probably too stupid to understand how to play it.

They probably gave it a 6 because the writing and acting is terrible. What I've watched on streams of this game seems like it's just as campy as a David Cage game but with less of a budget behind it.
Was kinda surprised to see it hovering around 80 MC since everything I'd heard of it has been extremely negative.

Eh I’ve been playing it with my brother. While the acting isn’t Oscar worthy, I don’t find it terrible. It really is a fantastic game which when reading the MC reviews definitly agree with. They did a great job implementing the coop atmosphere.
I’ll try to find the review I was reading but one guy complained he can’t play it single player and gave it a 6 as the main reason. Like really?

Don't really see what the issue is with wanting good acting from a game? Have not played it but it seems like it's pretty heavily narrative based. A lot of games nowadays play out similar to movies, don't see what the issue with wanting good acting and writing is.
If you look at a studio like Naughty Dog for example, a big reason their recent games are so well liked is acting/dialogue.

I've only played for an hour or so but I'm having fun so far. I definitely see the complaint about voice acting and writing, though. Already some cringe-worthy quotes and situations. The game is fun though so that's all I really care about.

How does this work with a friend who doesn’t own the game!
I know that was originally a big selling feature but I don’t see how it works any different than Share Play?

On Origin you can download the “friend pass” for free and start up the game. You just can’t do anything until you get invited by a friend that bought the full version.
