From someone playing co-op, we played through Act 1 + 2 and loved it. We got to Act 3 and got very overwhelmed (esp. trying to keep party together and performance) and sort of stopped. Haven’t gone back since.

Is the ring option on the watch quick settings turned off?

In the past for things like Kingdom Hearts, people have made compilation YouTube videos of the story pieces. I haven’t looked yet - does it exist for this?
