A Gummy’s Life
If the only thing they did was a carbon-copy remake of Gang Beasts with just a ‘splatter’ like they have for the punches, it would have been worth at least a dollar. There was that, and so much more, and my kids (7 & 10) absolutely loved it!
I find it way less boring than gang beasts with all the bot options and the much, much more interactive environments. Matches rarely last more than 1 1/2 minutes. A+.
Some comments from the children –- “I like that there’s more ways to die.”
Some comments from Dad — “I like that there’s bots out the wazoo, and that way I don’t have to pick one of the two children to go after and end up falling off the edge holding them.”

This is a very entertaining game, from the ragdoll physics to beating up your friends. However, it isn’t for everyone, and has major problems.
While I would still recommend the game, the game is not without flaws, which I think many wouldn’t be able to overlook. Most notably would be the large amount of bugs and glitches. Many maps have areas the players can climb out of, instantly killing them. Others have environmental backdrops the players can clip through. There are also many physics-based problems that could potentially throw someone off the map and ruin their experience. However, many of these glitches are funny enough to not cause any frustration.

FROG X BIRD
Once upon a time a frog
Croaked away in Bingle Bog
Every night from dusk to dawn
He croaked awn and awn and awn
Other creatures loathed his voice,
But, alas, they had no choice,
And the crass cacophony
Blared out from the sumac tree
At whose foot the frog each night
Minstrelled on till morning night
Neither stones nor prayers nor sticks.
Insults or complaints or bricks
Stilled the frogs determination
To display his heart’s elation.
But one night a nightingale
In the moonlight cold and pale

This game is EPIC fun. Brings back the old Joust days with a modern twist. I used this as a party game and we ended up playing for hours. Get 4 controllers and challenge your friends.
the basketball mode is incredible. Get the ball through the rings, so simple yet so challenging when youre friends are trying to hijack you.
I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in local gameplay and connecting with friends.

Unspottable
UPDATED REVIEW after more then 44 hours of game-play always with 3 or 4 players.
PERFECT FAMILY SETTING GAME, for kids and adults.
Surprisingly BEST FUN family game with more replay-ability then our others “family party games”, there is almost no “take that” feeling, since the receiver doesn’t know who, and often, you think you might of git someone, but it could be someone else.
It’s sneaky, smart and has a well polished game-play and it’s impossible to “target” someone else since your just trying to figure out where someone else is, so unlike Cake Bash and most family games, it allows you to hit anyone and no ones, not even kids are upset since no one knows (expect for the one who commits it) who did what. Only after the map is completed (1 min to 2 min average) everyone sees who punched who and then it’s right into the next map.

Played the demo and immediately bought the game afterward. It’s extremely fun to play and works like a charm with Steam Remote Play. I’m about 7 hours into the game and so far replay-ability has been great! Expert mode is a fun new way to play the levels and it’s always a blast trying to find out who your friends are. Once everyone starts to learn the mechanics and get really good, it can actually take several minutes to find out who is who.
My only downside to this game is that at the current state of the game, character selection is kind of pointless. During levels everyone is the same random character, with the one you choose being visible only during the lobby screen between levels. I think a great addition to this game would be a level where all of the people you’re playing with are on the level and you have to blend in, but have to use your memory of the other characters your friends chose to try and find them!

Cute hand painted visuals and a very interesting platform battle mechanic. This game is great to try out for a game night with a couple of friends! Basically you try to build up and try to keep your friends below where the encroaching waves kill those too slow. There’s multiple items you can get and use to change the platforms and hinder your opponents.
An in-game tutorial is lacking but you can just watch the 2nd video on the store page for a tutorial with some good tips for advance gameplay.

The Otterman Empire
I found this game lots of fun to play, especially with a few friends.
The game is simple enough to learn which makes it great for a quick party game.
The visuals are pleasing to look at with several cool locations and a selection of quirky and unique characters (including a few non-otters) to pick from, my favourite being the otter “Lyra”.
Each character has their own abilities and attacks to keep gameplay feeling fresh, some abilities are really cool like “Noah” who bombards a target are with fish. Its all very fun.

I’ve been following this game for a couple of years now and had the pleasure of playing it at different stages throughout it’s development at events organised by the creators, so it’s great to see it released! It’s great to be playing it at home! Now I just need to make some friends and for C19 to disappear so I can enjoy the local multiplayer to it’s fullest!
I’ve not played any split-screen multiplayer since buying it, but that’s mainly because of what I just said, and because I already know that part of the game is awesome! No doubt I’ll be playing some split-screen soon though! I just needed to get some practice in before playing against the girlfriend. I’d never hear the end of it if she beat me :P

The Jackbox Party Pack 8
Another great party pack. Each of the games is fun, my friend group gets the most laughs out of Job Job. With some of the games, you can go on the Jackbox TV site afterwards and order a ridiculous NSFW T-shirt with a line from one of the games you’ve played. If Jackbox has gone over well with your friends, Pack 8 won’t disappoint.

I was once with a jew and 7 muslims when I entered a bar in Bismarck, North Dakota. In case you didn’t know, this is the capital of South Dakota. And so, it was in this snowy summer day in Montana that I heard a client who looked drunk as fuck(lmao I’m rofling thinking about it), and he started explaining to me why the radical left partakes in speedrunning. Sadly, I did not get to hear his whole speech. I did, however, catch the end of it: “[…]in a petersonian sense, to elevate the alternatives in the sexual marketplace, open parenthesis, the fastest hedgehog, close parenthesis.” I did not understand a single word he said, and I still do not. I think he was on heroin, as well as substances such as: weed, marijuana, MJ, cannabis and the devil’s lettuce, among other things.

Peekazoo
The luxury cruise liner Animals Star just set off on its first voyage and all of the animals are having a great time. However, the crewmates have no idea that there is a conspiracy afoot.
The animals invited aboard by the scientists have no idea that they’re about to become guinea pigs for a new experimental serum. The scientists take the first subjects through a tunnel and into the lab, inject them with the serum, and write down their reactions: “Increased physical function, slightly increased intelligence, decreased eye sight, gradual increase in irritability, increased aggression… the first experiment’s failed! The subjects are out of control!” After losing their minds, the subjects break through the observation chamber, kill the scientists, and take over the ship’s remote control and the keys to the tunnel.
The Jackbox Party Pack 7
Word Spud.
Lie Swatter.
Civic Dodole.
Zeeple Dome.
Joke Boat.
They’ve been waiting for a year for their new member.
They will have to keep waiting.
There are no bad games here.
Champ’d Up is a real treat for people who love to draw, and even people that only draw black and white stick figures can join in and stand a chance. So much unintentional humour - and a lot of fun to be had by trying for some humour if you can guess your opponent’s prompt and make a deconstruction of it. You get to keep your drawings for the next game if you play with the same players, too! Compared to Tee K.O., it feels like a better flow because you draw two things at a time and every drawing is used at least once, possibly more because there’s four drawings and six rounds per person (and again, they can be used in the next game.) Also includes the best part of Bracketeering with none of its bad.

No disclaimer about the fact that I’m European this time around. This Jackbox Party Pack has a Filter for US-Centric content, to make it accessible to the broader audience around the world. Definitely a welcomed addition. You might still note that all of those games were played with the aforementioned option turned on.
Do I recommend the Jackbox Party Pack 7?
- YES, GET IT AT ALL COSTS!!

Mealmates
amazing art style, addictive mini games, super cool character designs. overall a very fun game! it even became my most favorite comfort distraction 🥺💚
– Real player with 58.2 hrs in game
Do you want to play a party game without breaking friendships? Then mealmates is for you. This sequel is a direct upgrade from the first game, where you can do more than just spoil your mealmate, play minigames and give him away to be eaten. You can customize your mealmate with clothes you can find in the “neighbourhood”, cook recipes which can later be bought in the shops and unlock things by completing achievements.
The replayability is GOLD, the music is GOLD, the game itself is just GOLD.
Worth the money. Some day I will invite my friends to give this a try.
