Snipperclips at its core is a puzzle party game, designed to be played with one other person at all times. There are so many hilarious and quirky moments throughout the experience but it really has its ups and downs. The presentation is very cute and simple. Everything is conveyed to you like some type of project that you have to problem solve and complete before moving on to the next. It sets the mood for what the game is, and I love the facial expressions the two characters you control give each other. The gameplay is fantastic, but only when playing with a friend. It is absolutely hilarious trying to work together and convey thoughts on what each other think's the solution might be to puzzle. However, in single player it just completely loses that charm and what you have is a generic puzzle game without the humor attached to it. Likewise, the game offers several party modes for up to 4 players that can be fun to visit for a little while, but quickly get boring. You really have to make your own fun there. Nothing to special with the soundtrack or anything. There aren't that many songs to listen to but what is there is fun nonetheless. I personally like the silly sounds the character shapes make when you snip them. It adds personality to the game in my opinion. Overall, I'm pretty conflicted with Snipperclips. On one hand, its a brilliant co-op game to play through, but once it is finished, there's not much of a reason to go back as the puzzles will always be the same and you will always know the solutions. The game is incredibly charming and quirky but if you don't have anyone to play with, all of that is sucked out of the game with clunky controls and swapping between characters to solve the puzzle without the hilarity of playing with another person. I recommend it for the co-op experience alone, but I wouldn't pick it for anything else!
