Operation: Tango - Friend Pass
Look, was it fun? Yes. My friend and I played the entire story on both roles. So, my hours reflect two completed campaign runs, 100%ing the game besides for achievements. Nevertheless, my friend, who was the one who bought the game, was very disappointed by how few missions there were. He felt that he didn’t get his money’s worth out of the game. If you and your friend are willing to have a short lived experience, then go ahead and get the game. However, if you are expecting a little more meat and potatoes than a campaign that can be completed in 2 to 3 hours, look for another game.

“We were here” mixed with “Keep talking and nobody explodes' ‘. I thoroughly hope that this game will show the world that asymmetric coop games are one of the best multiplayer experiences you can have.Both sides have their own view of the world, and have different tasks, but can only complete them when working together and communicating with each other.
It only takes about 3 hours to complete, but it contains some story time, and a lot of condensed gameplay.
The world is neatly built and the way forward is clear as long as you communicate with your teammate.

The Amulet of AmunRun
About the demo : A demo is available for everyone to play. It features the first 3 enigmas of the game and can be played in solo or in duo. It is strongly advised to play it with a friend/mate as the game has been designed for 2 and the final game will be coop only.
Welcome to AmunRun’s pyramid, the millenary jewel of Egypt !
Incarnate two archaeologist students who are sent into the ancient pyramid of AmunRun to uncover its secrets. Deep inside the pyramid is a mythical amulet that nobody managed to recover. You were sent to prove your worth ! Dive into the depths of the pyramid and fetch this golden treasure, but don’t forget that getting might be easier than getting out !
-
Adventure yourself in an epic race against the pyramid’s secrets and traps ! Navigate through the mystical challenges overlooked by the Egyptian gods.
-
Run together with your favourite side-kick (your friend is always the sidekick ;)) through the millenary corridor of a pyramid designed with the sole purpose of preventing you from entering. Don’t forget to communicate and collaborate between two breaths !
-
Prepare your hat & boots and especially ready yourself to use what’s inside. You’ll have to use your sense of observation and wit to open trapdoors, but you’ll have to use your dexterity to escape what might be coming out of them.

Operation: Tango
Operation: Tango is an asymmetrical co-op game (similar to a game like We Were Here) where one player plays as an agent and the other as a hacker, and you must communicate with each other to progress through the game. I generally found the missions to be interesting and challenging, with parts of one or two missions being a bit unclear what you were supposed to do (even after having completed it as both the agent and hacker!). There are 6 missions and 10 challenges, with the missions taking about 6-7 hours to complete, and the challenges taking 3-4 hours to complete at the highest level. The game’s overall aesthetic and UI is nice, and I enjoyed the music.

Bought this game tonight and immediately played though it. My friend and I are huge fans of the “We were here” games and have struggled to find similar ones after playing though the first two. We tried “Tic Tok” and a few coop platformer but nothing could really match up to “We were here”. Until now at least.
“Mark & Lara” is an amazing coop game. You don’t need the internet, just the game and you are set for about 2,5 hours of fun. That’s about how much time it took us to play though it once and we will again soon in order to experience the story out of both character’s perspectives. So for 4 bucks you have ~5 hours of playtime, which is solid imo. The story itself is amazing and really pulled us in. It really feels like investigating and we really enjoyed it. The game consists of talking to one of the two suspects, “official” documents and documentations of conversations. You have to really concentrate and look for the details and compare what the two suspects say in order to find the solution. Teamwork is necessary. The story was surprising in quite a few points and it was refreshing to not have a standart “why I killed him” plot but something more complex. We developed a good amount of theories of what could have happened and none of them turned out to be the correct one in the end.

First Class Escape: The Train of Thought
I’d really like to recommend this, but that Chapter 4… it sapped the fun :( and made it almost impossible to finish the game. Great setting and ideas up to then, if sometimes let down by the execution. The co-op hosting was seamless, controls were fine, and how nice to find notes not littered with errors. I loved working out the guests, but searching a bookcase three times for that one you can interact with? Dull and frustrating. Collectables are a fun addition… sometimes they were more clever and satisfying to retrieve than solving the puzzles!

Just finished playing this game in single player mode. Overall the game was enjoyable…graphics are nicely done and the puzzles for the most part were not overly difficult. I see some people giving the game negative reviews because some of the puzzles on Level 4 were challenging…if you take your time and examine how each machine works, you can eventually solve them without the need for a walkthrough.
Having said that, this is a new game and some refinement is needed. Having to drag things with the mouse (opening drawers, turning dials, etc.) is tedious and annoying….there has to be a better way to do this. There’s also apparently no way to customize the keyboard controls and no info that I could find on which keys do what. It’s also almost impossible to read some of the notes when you pick them up…the text is tiny and I could find no way to magnify it. Playing on a large screen TV sitting maybe 5 feet away, I had to get up and stand 6” away from the text to read it.
