From Steam reviews

Review notes

Shadow Puppeteer is worth a closer look if you want great with friends, solo-friendly, controller friendly, and strong atmosphere.

Best for players who want strong atmosphere, emotional story, great with friends, and solo-friendly.

Check more carefully if you dislike technical roughness.

great-with-friends

Fit

It tends to be better when shared with friends.

solo-friendly

Fit

It still makes sense as a solo play choice.

controller-friendly

Fit

Controller, gamepad, or Steam Deck play comes up as a plus.

strong-atmosphere

Tone

The mood, place, and presentation carry a lot of the experience.

boss-rush

Play style

A major part of the game is learning and beating standout fights.

buggy

Friction

Technical roughness or instability comes up often enough to check.

emotional-story

Tone

The story is framed as affecting rather than just plot-heavy.

short-game

Pacing

It is better understood as a compact experience than a long hobby game.

Steam review snapshots

Shadow Puppeteer is a good game to play local co-op with your daughter.
Great with Friends
I've seen some criticism of Shadow Puppeteer as not being a good single player game, and that may be completely true, but…
Solo-Friendly
The music is also really good, and creates a very nice atmosphere.
Strong Atmosphere
But since this is a platformer you should play it with a controller, like all platformers should.
Controller Friendly
