The Mutineer

A really funny party/local game! Play with an audience for entertaining results. Recommended if you have friends to play with, if not remote play and solo are still an option!

Just… Fantastic and extremely underrated.

This game may not seem like much when you first test it out, but as you continue playing you realise the depth and sheer strategy and mind games this game possesses and reflects on to the 2 of you playing.

And since you only need one other player, remote play is actually very smooth and easy to carry out, since you don’t have to worry with the burden of trying to stream to multiple people at once. Also, the game isn’t demanding for the stream at least from my experience, so the people you play with should have a really smooth experience for the most part.

Dread Hunger

Dread Hunger

PROS:

Addictive

Great unique art style

Polished mechanics despite being in early access

Immersive level design

Kind and caring community (great for making new friends)

Developers listen to the community

Every match is different from the last

CONS:

Limited tools to deal with trolls and grifers creating scenarios where people will rejoin after being kicked (occasional griefer/troll)

Deception tools are very easy to counter when with an experienced crew making it a choir to play as a thrall encouraging a PvP style of play

I do wish there was a yes and no option to recommend. If you have 7 other friends with you then yeah I would recommend this to you. If not then enter at you’re own risk of some pretty toxic people. Meta gaming. ect. Not all the time but a good majority. You may say well just kick them but they can keep joining back. there is no ban option and the few good group of people out here had to make a list of griefers and toxic people to avoid and kick because the devs have not given us the tools to do so in lobby and all. I say once you get kick it should be you can not join back that lobby. There is not much good communication between the community and the devs since they mainly care about the few streamers who play there game. Which I see from a company money making point of view can be good. Keep the streamers happy and into the game to keep streaming there game and possibly get more buyers. But it sucks for the rest of us who have to put up with all the glitches still in the game and getting bad responses from the devs. They balance the game around potential griefers instead of outright dealing with the griefers/ giving hosts the tools to deal with them. Wile focusing on other thing’s instead of this big issue the game is currently having. Anyone will hate having thrall and to have some Meta gaming people ruin that by giving info from the game through discord instead of through the game like it should be. I’m danm well sure I have had this happen with Streamers and I have had other say they had this issue as well and problems with some streamers on here doing these kind of thing. Having very little ways to combat this ourselfs as players even if we have video proof nothing get’s done about it and that’s why I can’t support this game till this issue is resolved which I really hate. I really enjoyed playing this game and still do when it’s friends.

Do you love social deduction games like Mafia, Werewolf, The Resistance and Secret Hitler? We do too! But we noticed some shortcomings in the genre. They are sometimes hard to set up and inconvenient to play. Some games need too much room or a big table, some require a moderator with godlike precision, some require to close your eyes for minutes, and quite often the game is ruined because someone forgot to do their part correctly or a newbie player asked the wrong question and revealed their secret. We have built Republic of Jungle to address to these issues and distill the fun of social deduction games into a more enjoyable and convenient experience. Inspired by Jackbox Games, we have built a platform where players can use their smartphones (or any device with a browser) to play the game. This way, the game does all the moderation for you, guides the players throughout the game and adds a fun narrative on top. More importantly, we have unique mechanics specific to this platform because they are almost impossible to implement in a traditional tabletop setting.

Игра с ужасным, конченным, токсичным RU(даже не CIS) комьюнити; редикми обновами; дорогим донатом но ска родная и все равно классная. Рекомендую, но только если играть через эмулятор. А если понравится то только тогда брать на ПК. ZAKARxROXIE.

Enemy On Board

Enemy On Board

This is my new favourite game. Currently I have over 500+ hours on this game so I can give my review with some experience.

PROS:

1. Game is short, can finish a game between 2-10 minutes.

2. There is a lot of social deception in this game. Similar to other games like Avalon, Secret Hitler, Among Us, Project Winter, you will need to work together to win as crew.

3. This is an Early Access game, and the developers are adding new content all the time.

4. There is a high skill cap in both reading people and combat in the game.

Before I say anything else I want to make it clear, I wanted to test the new controls out before leaving a review for it, that’s why I made a different review for the old patch.

Before the WASD update review: I liked the game with its unique movement system in the genre, the game had it’s own charm in that it wasn’t just mindless combat or just heres some randoms figure out who the non innocent are then vote them out. Crew could actually fight back against aliens and while there was moments where the crew or my partner were counting on me to 1v2 or 1v4 I managed to overcome it and feel good in my accomplishment. Overall it was 9/10 for me, fun, interactive and unique in the genre.

First Class Trouble

First Class Trouble

This game’s community became trash the moment they made it cross platform. It was a great community of like minded players 9/10 sessions were very fun, social and generally pleasant but ever since they opened it up to the xbox community it’s just full of toxic players, people teaming and each lobby is nothing but homophobic and racist slurs. I have 135 hours on record but now it’s time to uninstall. What a shame.

Real player with 135.2 hrs in game

This game is great at its core. It was unfortunately recently ruined by cross-play.

As others have stated, you’ll likely get matched with people with no mic or people who are in a Playstation party together, so you’ll rarely hear people speak. Since it is such a language driven game, you cannot play a proper match without communication.

It’s still fun if you can get a group of 6 together, but the solo or duo queue is incredibly difficult to deal with. If you turn cross-play off, you’ll wait for 20 minutes for a full lobby, whereas before you were in a full lobby within seconds.

Guillotine

Guillotine

You’re in a tavern in the woods, but someone is a necromorph hungry for human meat. Guillotine the necromorph, or get eaten alive.

Guillotine is a multiplayer game of lying and deceit, with a pinch of survival.

It can be played with 4-18 players.

VOICE CHAT:

Proximity based voice chat. Sing at the piano, or scream for help when the necromorph is hunting you.

ROUNDS:

The game round has 3 phases:

Gather - Run around the forest, grabbing food and resources.

Discuss - The fog of death starts to rise up. Time to come back to the tavern, craft equipment and discuss.

Vote - Vote a player to get guillotined.

HUNGER:

Necromorphs have to kill people to satisfy their hunger.

Humans have to find food in the forest. Food growing plants are scattered in the forest, but most of them are located around the giant vines.

MATERIALS:

Materials can be collected around the map. They are used to craft items and upgrade equipment.

ZEPPELIN:

Humans can call a zeppelin by depositing the materials on its call table. Once all the required materials are there, the zeppelin will fly into the tavern’s tower and rescue whoever gets in it. If any player manages to escape alive, it is a human victory.
