Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
Most of the time writting reviews is quite easy. You point out the strong and bad points of the title, sum everything up and giving a final judgement at the end. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes doesn’t have strong or bad points… It’s great game all throughout which makes writting review of it extremely difficult.
Uniqueness of the game doesn’t really help either. The concept of trading information between the manual-wielding “Expert” and bomb interacting “Defuser” with the constant pressure of timed exploding device is as silly, fun, exciting as you could imagine. The constant shouts, the struggle to correctly describe the contents of many different types of bombs and that tension when the timer runs out and there is that one one wire to cut… It’s a great, original idea for the game that focuses on good communication, reading comprehenion and quick thinking and analysis. You rarely see something like that on the market and I’m extremely happy that it works like the charm.

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
A little game where you and your friends are disarming bombs.
This is a co-op game that puts you, the player, alone in a room with nothing but a bomb, and sometimes an annoying alarm clock. You must disarm the bomb before the timer on said bomb runs out. How ever, you have no manual. In comes the co-op mechanic as your friends have a manual that they can use to instruct you on how to disarm the bomb. This is a game where your friendships will either solidify, or very likely yourself, blow up to pieces.

Escape Simulator
Great and fun co-op game. the puzzle difficulty is just right. the interactivity with the environment is good (you can pickup some objects, throw them, inspect them together with co-op friends, but some object can only be drag around). Looking forward for the new level update from the developer and high quality workshop level from the community. I hope the developer would expand the capability of the level editor to facilitate that.
Update :
Ok, so the additional 58 hours since the first review was mostly (80%-90%) consisted of me trying to play around with the editor and eventually created a level in the workshop which you can find here :

Escape Simulator is one of the few escape room games that can be played with one or more friends, in online co-op mode. In fact, while the game can be experienced in its entirety in solo mode as well, it was clearly designed with the multiplayer feature in mind.
Escape Simulator is structured in very small one-room levels that are all available to play from the beginning (there are no requirements to unlock them) and which are grouped according to their theme. At the moment of the release, the game features 16 levels in total (a tutorial, and 5 levels each, belonging to an Egypt / space / Victorian mansion theme) with more to come in the near future (5 more levels have been announced as a free port-release path). Aside from this, players can create their own rooms and share them with the community, since the game also has a Steam-integrated workshop.

Tick Tock: A Tale for Two
This is such an interesting experiment in cross-platform gaming. You can play it on your phone, on a tab, on a laptop or desktop.
If you play it on mobile devices then you really should be in the same room together. But if you are on PC then you can use Steam chat or Discord to talk to friends you want to play this with in other countries. It is a co-op game that requires you to communicate in real time to solve puzzles and the story is so neat and really drew me in despite its simplicity. Honestly for the full price Tick Tock: A Tale for Two is already good value for money. If you need more convincing then read on.

This was a fun little “Escape Room” type puzzle game. Two people must communicate and work together to get through each “Chapter”.
Each chapter takes place in the same general locations, and you get to see how things change as time progresses.
A nice touch is that an internet connection is not needed to play with your friend. You select Player One, they select Player Two, and that’s it. That’s good for people who may not have a super reliable connection, like in other games where if one person gets disconnected for a moment, you’re forced to start over (or at a checkpoint). All of that is avoided here.

39 Days to Mars
Review by Davide Spagocci http://www.i TA360.COM
You can play 39 Days to Mars also as a Single Player alone, don’t make the mistake to not play this game only because you read the co-op description,this game is totally worth it played as single player and is for me an unforgettable,unique and wonderful gaming experience also if im a sp gamer.
The gameplay is very fun you can use the controller thumbstick same if they is your left and right arms ( so for move the 2 cursors for reach objects to interact ) then you can use the the left and right triggers same if they is your left and right hand and by pushing the triggers you will close your hand for grab or use objects.

39 Days To Mars is a sweet, cute and adorable little gem, that will melt your heart with its kindness. Being an extremely short indie game, designed to play on couch with your best friend or a girlfriend, it still manages to deliver you a lot of emotions and gives you an ability to forget about this cruel world and plunge into the atmosphere of this beautiful game.

Escape from Skull Dungeon
Escape from Skull Dungeon
A short but entertaining dungeon puzzle and escape room game. It lacks a bit of polish but the puzzles were interesting and it works well as a solo or co-op experience.
First Impressions🤔
We played this game in a party of four, although I did run through it again as a solo player too.
You can play solo or have any number of players up to a total of four.
The co-op experience was very fun. We started a group chat on Discord and it was entertaining to exchange ideas and work together to solve the puzzles. The solo experience is a little more difficult and will probably take you longer. There are some sections which would definitely benefit from having an extra set of eyes, and also you can delegate tasks to certain players rather than doing everything yourself.

Escape From Skull Dungeon
Gameplay
Escape from Skull Dungeon is an escape room puzzle game which can be played cooperatively with upto 4 players.
The gameplay of Escape from Skull Dungeon is pretty basic, you’re trapped in a room and you have to find out clues to solve puzzles. The puzzles are usually given in the form of riddles which use environmental clues and objects. Most of these puzzles are fairly basic but yet fun to solve.
The games mixes things up in between with throwing in some boulders, fireballs and a couple boss fights for good measure but these are minor distractions and aren’t fleshed out.
