KeyWe

Amazing game. Fun to play with your significant other or a close friend. Requires just the right amount of teamwork where you need to do a level a couple times or more to complete it if you’re going for all the achievements. Overcooked vibes, controller recommended.

This game however, gets a down vote from me due to the TERRIBLE, COMMON, AND MAJOR GLITCHES in this game that completely ruin the experience. Boxes sometimes will not move when you run into them, ruining your time on a level. Boxes sometimes cannot be pulled when you try to pull them multiple times, ruining your time on a level. Dashing will glitch out and make it so you cannot dash anymore for the remainder of the level unless you butt-drop - doing exactly the same thing when you try to dash again, ruining your time on a level. Mail sometimes being thrown into mail slots make it in the mail slots but don’t count towards score, ruining your score on a level. Buckling up the mail while it’s being fed sometimes glitches out completely and makes it so you can’t feed the animal or finish bucking up the mail - making it so you cannot complete the level at all.

KeyWe is so good i really recommend anyone that likes interesting and thoughtful co-op experiences to give this a try, it’s a truly unique experience. Even though it stands on its own if i had to compare KeyWe to anything I would say the closest gameplay loop is that of Overcooked where you’re trying to complete a common objective and need to work together in order to achieve it. various things need to be done in order to reach that goal and you’ll have to decide quickly who is doing what tasks. If you work well with the person you’re playing with this obviously makes things a lot easier to manage.

Carly and the Reaperman - Escape from the Underworld

Carly and the Reaperman - Escape from the Underworld

Review changed to positive after returning to finish the game.

Our initial few hours in the game were plagued by controller issues: the PC player’s controller would periodically stop working.

What we managed to play we loved though, and after returning a few months later controller problems seemed resolved, and we got through several worlds worth of excellent levels.

Another break happened when my headset needed warranty repair (not this games fault!), and when we came back again our progress was stuck. New worlds wouldn’t open up, and the hub NPC’s dialogue was back at the start of the game. Our progress was all saved; every level we entered correctly showed all the collectable fireflies were still caught, but we had to play through every (now empty) level again in order to advance the story.

My wife asked to write the review for this one:

“Carly and the Reaperman is even more fun than the trailer suggests! I had the happiest of times playing with my husband. His platforming skills made him the best choice for Carly and I played as the Reaperman. With its beautiful art style, increasingly elaborate level design and a seemingly simple, yet very poignant narrative, Carly delivers one of the most creative VR experiences that I have ever played.

That being said, it does have some flaws. Several glitches in the game resulted in lost progress, forcing us to repeat some of the most difficult levels. In one instance, we found a way to cheat through some pixel perfect platforming just to avoid having to repeat the entire puzzle for a 2nd time.

My Father My Son

Only cooperation can save them

Together with two lost castaways, a father, and son, experience a thrilling journey through a dark, uninhabited island that isn’t on the map.

Move along 2 paths, changing them freely as needed. Take wise advantage of the differences between the father (strong and high) and the son (small and agile), which will make it easier for the characters to work together on co-op puzzles.

I love this game.

This game is FREAKING AWESOME as an Atari 7800 ProSystem homebrew. The graphics are so stunning, and the music is unbelievable for this console. But as a game on PC in 2018, it probably won’t get much attention, which is sad.

The game is simple. You use boxes to solve puzzles, pick up all keys, and proceed to the next level. There are 6 caverns (worlds); every cavern has 10 stages (including one boss stage), featuring different enemies and new mechanics for new puzzles, except the last cavern only has boss fight. Every stage is well designed, from easy to hard. It’s not too hard to figure out the puzzles, but it can be frustrating sometimes because you die in one hit and there’s a time limit. The boss fight kinda reminds me of Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers 2 on the NES.

The game has top notch graphics and music.

However, for anyone on the fence about buying this game, let me warn you that if you want to get the most from this game you’ll need to play the 2-player co-op mode. I am unable to play it properly because I don’t know anybody locally who would be interested in playing it so I am unable to see the exclusive bosses and -what I assume- is the true ending to the game. You could try playing 2-player by yourself but it alters the puzzles so you have to work together with someone. If you play as either single player character, (I’ll say this as spoiler-free as possible) the ending you get basically tells you to go play 2-player mode and kicks you back to the title screen.

Shift Happens

Shift Happens

People will inevitably compare this game to Shiftlings - maybe even call one of them a knockoff. Despite both games having some identical game mechanics, they are very different games. It’s similar to Halo versus Doom. Both are FPS games where a green marine blasts through unnatural creatures, but the gameplay is not the same. Having played around 5 hours both shifty games, I’m making a short comparison.

Shiftlings:

  • Shiftlings singleplayer/co-op is both the same game, in singleplayer you just switch between characters

| Factor | Rating | Description |

| Gameplay Loop | 7 | This game is basically no-nonesense fun platforming. It knows what it wants to be and sticks to that. Getting past levels is pretty easy, but every level has these orbs, a secret area, and one bonus thingy to collect - which makes for a fun enough experience. There’s 4 worlds, and we found the 2nd one to be the most fun in terms of the quality of each and every level. Some of the later levels can start repeating the same ideas every now and then, but the game easily managed to stay fun for us through the 10h runtime. I do think I’d have rated it even higher with an even more crisp runtime. Just remember one thing, do not skip on the bonus levels. They’re the best content and the most memorable bits of the game for us. |

Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power

Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power

This review is relevant to all the Trine games(so far) in regard to themselves, and how they fit into the whole Trine series. I’ll try to be as thorough and clear as I can. I’m also one of those players that cares about the story just as much as the game play, so I’ll also be mentioning that. Bear with me, please. (One thing they all have in common: the artwork and music is out of this world)

Trine 1

I liked Trine 1 because of the gravity of the story and because of it’s relatively good game play and good puzzles. Story wise, it was dark and rather heavy, but for a game like Trine it was good since it kept me focused and in anticipation of the happy ending, which was all the more satisfying. The story wasn’t very involved though (meaning you travel to one place, get a clue, then basically go to the next place while fighting monsters), so that was pretty much the only thing I wish they’d done better. Still, to me, it felt a lot more as if I was in there with the characters, on my way to defeat the forces of darkness.

achievements are short and sweet: finish this, collect that - nothing terrible or hard

why it is so bad?

check the rating of other Trine games. they usually get universal acclaim or overly positive reception. their Steam ratings are varies in 85-95%% rank, which is insanely good. however Trine 3 lacks this and its rating in 60-70%%. why so? what did contribute towards such negative review? ohh, the right answer, as always, lies in monetary direction…
