Ambidangerous
This is definitely one of the most unique games I’ve played. The learning curve it pretty steep initially but not overly difficult. You control two separate characters in a top-down shooter with a single controller. Your left hand controls one character and your right hand controls the other. Think of it as if rubbing your belly and patting your head got converted to a video game. I reccomend either putting both characters together initially so your movements are identical or just shoving one guy in a corner where he is safe.

Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance
16 hours between Wulfgar / Drizzt Solo and Multiplayer before deciding to put my 2 cents.
First I’ll start by saying that two main complaints are legitimate but pretty exaggerated.
-
Netcode does need work and diminishes the value of twitch mechanics which otherwise work flawlessly Solo but at the same time you’re in a group so unless you’re the type to scream “But I pressed the button!” and rage. It’s mostly an annoyance right now and not bad enough to kill enjoyment of the game.
-
Enemy AI is indeed a bit derpy taking “Action Movie” turns to attack the player. This is most notable Solo. At the same time if the enemy were to aggro stick the player all at once I doubt it would be Solo’d above 2. Hero difficulty. Far as I’ve seen the issue with hitting enemies from range, esp bosses is generally fixed and in the end this isn’t a competitive game. I’ve seen 5/5 star games where the AI is still easily exploited. Just play the game and stop trying to break it.

To start this review, many of the first negative reviews, and highest rated ones, are both much too critical and based off of a low amount of hours.
This game is marvelous, but it would be ignorant to write this review and say there are no issues. Of course, there are some glaring issues. But many of them are no where near as detrimental as some of the high rated negative reviews make them seem.
The worst issue in my opinion is the lackluster AI. Many of the enemies, simply won’t attack you, if you don’t start attacking them. And you get warmed up to that very fast. However, there are some AI, who are very aggressive, and being warmed up to AI not generally attacking you, it makes it feel like… a normal game. However, if you’re playing with a team, I have not yet encountered an enemy who will actively attack you whilst reviving a teammate.

Biped
Biped is a fun, cute co-op and solo game. I mention co-op first because it’s really designed around playing with another person. However, you can still enjoy solo play. The controls are very innovative and novel. The first place I ever came across using dual sticks to control separate motion was from a tank arcade game back in the 1990s. The control is a bit confusing at first, but then becomes very intuitive rapidly.
The only critical critiques I have about this game, are:
1. The camera
2. Only co-op host seems to get stars that both players got playing together.

I can’t really join the euphoric chorus in a lot of reviews here. Sure, it’s an alright local coop game all in all, but a long way from a masterpiece in my opinion, mostly because of the tedious movement system (you control each foot separately, hell if your controller got mechanical issues) and the sudden difficulty spikes in between. Sometimes levels were easy and fun, other levels were simply frustrating or annoying (already the first one), especially if you try to collect all the stars (good advice: DON’T, because you need the ones from the bonus levels for any achievement as well). I wouldn’t even call it a puzzle game, as coordination and agility challenges based around those leg movements and the according physics are predominant. The main story also is rather short, only 8 levels including the tutorial, and has rather few variations (mostly the standard, like river, ice, forest etc.). Instead, after finishing, the game offers several bonus challenge levels as mentioned which really are extremely hard, and this is no joke, they’re truly diabolical. To be honest, we gave up after a few tries, yeah, that’s how much fun they were. By the way, I also finished it in single player, which is surprisingly much easier and features a bit different level designs, but of course is short, too. And before I forget, there are indeed slight customization possibilities by buying some funny hats in the shop with coins you find during the levels, but the achievement to buy them all is rather grindy and requires to at least repeat the tutorial 30 additional times.

Quest Hunter
I’d never recommend this to another person.
So here’s the thing. I played Quest Hunter & didn’t hate it. But there are a ton of reasons why I’d never point another gamer in this direction.
1st off, combat is terrible. Hitboxes force you to attack like the close talker on Seinfeld. Basically your mele is completely useless. You’re going to take a hit, if you try to use mele. Since you know you’re going to take damage, you might think that you can just use your shield to block & attack when your enemy is open. Problem is that you take a ton of damage through your shield, unless you stat up your shield block, which forces you to gimp your other stats(Health, Attack, & Defense). Level cap is 20, so skill points are limited.

Quest Hunter is a generic hack and slash action RPG game with some appeal. You play a random “digger” character with a shovel, cute clothing, beards and hair styles but very little actual combat abilities. The goal of the game is just beating down every critter and destroying every single rock and trees to accumulate shiny resources. Well it isn’t exactly this, but after 20 hours, finishing the main quest line can be summarized as such with no shame.
The combat is somewhat boring. You can hack forward with the attack button, block strikes with the block button and move around a 3D map with no camera controls. It’s very basic and not very challenging. I didn’t even bother blocking on my first play through. There’s no dodging, so the only thing you have to watch out for is not getting hit pass your tank line. To this base, there are spell abilities to grind for, but none of it really improves either the game’s difficulty rating (really easy) or the fact that I can’t play it for more than 30 minutes without being completely bored.

Axes and Arrows
Fun, fast, and simple game mechanics. It plays a lot like Towerfall or Super Crate Box, there’s 4 player competetive battles or a Quest mode that can be single player or 2 player co-op.
I’m happy to see more competitive local co-op games popping up on Steam, I’m tired of all of the awful RTS/Space Sim garbage that has been coming out of Steam Greenlight.
Axes and Arrows is worth a purchase, and it’s still in early access so if it keeps updating with new stuff I’ll keep playing.
– Real player with 1.4 hrs in game
One of the most fun indie games I own. I bought it while it was on sale for $5.99, but it is well worth $10. Don’t hesitate about buying this game, even in early access, there’s a new update with new stuff and fixes every couple of days, I like how active the developer is.
Controller is recommended, but they found a pretty sweet way to do mouse and keyboard without making it feel awkward. I’m really impressed.

Garbage Crew!
Garbage Crew! is a game about chaos! You work in a team with up to four of your friends and an angry garbage truck driver. Your job is to empty garbage cans and containers. Sadly your contract doesn’t state what kind of work you are required to do, so your manager loads you with all kinds of extra work including firefighting and forest work. Naturally you are completely understaffed and your short tempered driver has no intention of stopping the truck and wait for you just because you couldn’t empty all the garbage cans while extinguishing a raging wildfire. Luckily there are heaps of powerups that help you with all these tasks, so your stress level won’t reach dangerous heights.
Gameplay
Garbage Crew! is a roguelike action game so to progress to the next level you not only have to make a fight plan on how to coordinate your operation but also unlock and buy powerups that make your life much easier. To unlock the next level you need to complete all three incentives and finish the level in time. If you’ve made it in time and cleared at least one incentive you unlock a new powerup that will help you advance on your next run! While in game all kinds of unexpected events occur so make sure you come prepared to adapt to all circumstances! After all, you are doing like 10 jobs at the same time!
Return to your timeline
Powerups are nice and helpful, but with great power comes great responsibility. One promising contraption that the crazy professor living behind the dump came up with should have enabled you to slow down time. Sadly but expected things don’t work out according to plan and the powerup teleports you back in time! Despite there being a lot of garbage to take care of in the past too, you obviously want your old life back which leads you to a chaotic journey through time!
Multiplayer
Although you can play Garbage Crew! on your own, the game is most fun when you team up with your friends! Therefore, Garbage Crew! supports local multiplayer with up to four players. Don’t worry you can also play with your friends that don’t live near you thanks to Steam Remote Play Together which requires just one of you to own the game!
Garbage Crew! Will be released in 2022 as Early Access starting with three brand-new levels in completely new eras!
Lumberhill
Super fun family games with kids and local coop, best at 3 and 4 local players. Fun to play, easy to play, commands are fine (who ever complains about commands “not being easy” or “hard to figure out” must be playing with their keyboard and never played local coop games as they all tends to be similar. We like this a bit less then Unspottable (our favourite local coop game), but we like Lumberhill more then Boomerang Fu and tons more then Cake Bash. It’s easy to pick up and many game modes and many levels.

A fun campaign/co-op. Multiplayer is very difficult for the human worker. My brother and I can hardly complete any quests with the animal player actively working against you.

Fast & Furious: Spy Racers Rise of SH1FT3R
this is so much fun i love that i get to chose between different characters and each race is different i can buy more characters make my hq look even better and have different skins for the cars
– Real player with 7.7 hrs in game
Well this is the best Fast & Furious game on PC that i am aware of. Its better than showdown (which i missed on pc but played on PS3, oh dear) and miles ahead of Crossroads. Why? well it takes the premise of the Kids show and keeps it heart but knows we are all here for the cars, racing and gadgets.
The premise is the villain from season one has recruited teh villains from the other series and some old crew to help win the ultimate car. So the Spy Racers enterthe tournament to stop him. Simple plot. If you know the series you know it spans alot of areas so we get locations inspired from them. Sadly no Volcano or underwater levels but hey we do get Mexico, LA, etc…
