Rayman Legends

Top Pro

Visually impressive boss stages

The visual mechanics in the boss stages are pretty impressive as they use 3d rendering but still hold to the 2D graphical look of the game. This allows for bosses that weave in and out of stages as well as attacks that can come from the foreground or background depending on where the boss is located. See More

Top Con

Jump is floaty

The jump action feels a bit floaty which may take a bit to get use to. Normally platformers will offer tighter controls, which people tend to get used to making games that stray from that more difficult or just not something that appeals. See More

Chris Schutz's Experience

One of the first games I got for the PS4 and I still pick it up to play a few rounds of challenges or work towards raising my Lum total. Solid game all around! It is pretty cool that they've kept the servers up and they continue to roll out challenges daily, weekly and monthly See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Genre:Platformer

Co-Op:Local Wireless

Extended goals with daily and weekly online challenges

There are daily and weekly online challenges that users can compete in, against their friends or just the high scores listed. See More

FerventPholus's Experience

realy fun and ragequiting See More

Top Pro

Local co-op that is good for single room group play

Up to four local players can play sharing a single screen at the same time in Rayman Legends. Something that is often not the norm on PC but is seeing more new releases that support it. This is great for those with Steam Machines or living room PCs that want to be able to play with friends locally in one room. See More

SociableHimeros's Experience

Really enjoyable game See More

Top Pro

One of the best platformers released in years

From the beautiful design of the 2D cartoon graphics to the level design, soundtrack and multiplayer, Rayman Legends is on par with the best of platformers. See More

Top Pro

All powers unlocked from beginning

Unlike Rayman Origins, Legends has all of Rayman's powers unlocked from the beginning. Players are able to jump float, wall run and attack starting at the first level. See More

Top Pro

Fun and cute characters

The cartoony design of the characters is animated smoothly and looks great on screen. Each character's design is cute and amusing while also showing differentiating characteristics. See More

Top Pro

Up to four player local co-op so you can help children through hard parts

Up to four local players can play sharing a single screen at the same time in Rayman Legends which is great for when kids get stuck on hard parts as another sibling or parent can jump in and help them out. See More

Up to four local players can play sharing a single screen at the same time in Rayman Legends which is great for when kids get stuck on hard parts as another sibling or parent can jump in and help them out. See More

Gauntlet

Top Pro

Boss's offer good bit of diversity to the gameplay

Different bosses means different tactics need to be used to defeat them. This creates a good change of pace from the regular hack and slash type gameplay. See More

Top Con

Very repetitive gameplay

With a few exceptions, the gameplay and strategy is the same for the entire game. Very little progression or new abilities. "Potions" don't do anything until you can buy abilities. Game gets easier, not harder. (New colosseum mode adds some end game challenge.) See More

Mati Noord's Experience

The best -local coop- hack n slash for ps4 (if you don't have the exaggerated amount of time that Diablo requires to play to reach a hard mode). The Wizard is fun to use, not easy, but if you´re a gamer, you won't have problems, once you get used to the button's combinations. It's a shame that it doesn't have a sequel... See More

Specs

Genre:Dungeon Crawler RPG, Hack n' Slash

Co-Op:4 Player Online / 4 Player Couch

Controller Support:Full/ Unfull

Top Pro

Nostalgia

It's a classic from the eighties that made it to these days. See More

Top Con

Locked camera

The camera is locked in a single position, something that creates confusion while playing a busy area as the camera does not stay focused on the players character. While a locked camera made sense back in the Arcade or on home consoles where one screen was used, for online multiplayer it really does not make much sense. See More

Top Pro

Easily played on a sofa

Gauntlet offers full controller support that actually works quite well for an action RPG. This makes for a good game to play on a Steam Machine or other living room gaming PC. See More

Top Con

Wizard is complicated to use

The wizard character is complicated to use as he has nine spells but only two button combinations available to use them. This makes the character difficult to use which results in not may people wanting to play with the character. For online matches this means there are quite a few three player games as no one wants to take on using the fourth character, the Wizard. See More

Top Pro

Fun as hell

It's challenging, for what it is, but not frustrating. See More

Gang Beasts

Top Pro

Outlandish ousting of opponents can be quite surreal

Players can throw their opponents into huge industrial shredders or under the wheel of traffic to hilarious and gross effect. This is the goal of the game: taking out one's opponents in any way possible. See More

Top Con

Only matchmaking

Game can only be played with random players. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Genre:Fighting / Tekken / Street Fighter

Co-Op:Local/Online Multiplayer

Controller Support:Full

Top Pro

Great as a party game

Gang Beasts features local co-op for up to 8 players, which makes this a great game to play when many people are around such as at a party or large gathering. See More

Top Con

Not child friendly

While the graphics are cartoon-like and seemingly geared towards children, the gameplay is anything but. This is definitely not a game for small children due to the violence found within. See More

Top Pro

Available on multiple operating systems

Gang Beasts is available on both Windows, Mac OS and Linux systems. See More

Top Con

No online multiplayer

The game can only be played on a single computer as it does not have a LAN or online features as of yet. See More

Top Pro

Glitches in some games are annoying but in this game they are absolutely hilarious

Top Con

No online multiplayer

Crawl [Early Access]

Top Pro

Unique gameplay, blend of cooperation and betrayal

Crawl has one lone hero enter a dungeon with objective to find the dungeon boss and strike it down. However, other players wish to take that glory as well, and will use all means possible to take the soul and spot in the story of the hero for themselves. Whoever players the hero, must struggle trough the dungeon, killing monsters and gaining money and experience to get new equipment and grow stronger. All the while other players will take control of monsters and traps to kill the hero. Monsters will make attempts cooperate to get the hero, but to get the soul one must strike the last blow and prepare defend themselves when roles change, one cannot be too cooperative with the temporary allies. See More

Top Con

No online multiplayer

Obviously the game is designed around multiplayer play but sadly there is no online multiplayer included. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Controller Support:Yes

Top Pro

Replay value

As the game is played, different monsters are unlocked and dungeons change for each playthrough with different bosses making the game stay interesting as time goes on. Available items change each play-trough as well, players cannot choose same play-style each time as different weapons require different tactics. See More

Top Pro

Retro graphics

The art style of Crawl is reminiscent of 8bit games of yore and yet are still detailed enough to have very different designs for the different monsters in the game. See More

Top Pro

Local (couch ) 2-4 asymmetric multiplayer

Crawl has built in support for local 2-4 player asymmetric multiplayer with 3 out of the 4 playing co-op against the main player. See More

TowerFall Ascension

Top Pro

Old-school arcade-like design

Makes for fun interesting scenarios, as there is a portal on each side of the screen that allows arrows flying off the left side to come in on the right. It also allows for trick shots by utilizing one side of the screen to shoot enemies on the other. This adds to the challenge, as you need to be conscious of your partners placement as they can be hit with your shots. See More

Top Con

Co-op quest mode is short

Probably 7 hours tops to get through the co-op quest, so for those looking for a longer game with full co-op quests, this may not fit the bill being a bit short on that front. Luckily, it's not the only aspect of the game, leaving some replay value. See More

Top Pro

Single-screen levels add depth to strategy

In the style of old school games like Asteroids, everything that moves outside the edge of the screen appears on the opposite side of it. Because of this you always need to remain aware of your surroundings and other player locations, so you don't get hit by an arrow coming from an unexpected direction. This adds a level complexity not found in many modern games, which is quite refreshing. See More

Top Con

Limited to local multiplayer only

For a game that thrives on multiplayer, to limit it to local only really hampers the fun that can be had, especially on PCs. Not many PC gamers own four controllers nor have the space and company to play four player local co-op. See More

Top Pro

Feels fair at any skill level

Each player only has three arrows at the beginning of a match. Once they are fired, the arrows can be picked up by anyone. This way no player can build momentum that feels oppressive, allowing even new players to control the pace of a match since they can just hog all the arrows. See More

Top Pro

Simple to learn hard to master

Anyone can pick up the game and be playing competently in a minute but there is a lot of technique and strategy to lean to keep players engaged. While the gameplay keeping itself pretty basic and easy to grasp, there is a level of skill needed here that can be learned through repeated gameplay, as practice makes perfect. See More

Top Pro

Balanced risk reward with limited ammo

Players are limited with three arrows at the beginning of each match with each shot being able to be collected by whoever grabs it first making for the need for strategical analysis as to whether the arrow can be used without falling into the wrong hands to then be used by another player to their advantage. See More

Top Pro

More powerups and arenas over previous title

TowerFall Ascension features more powerups and arenas than its previous title as the game has been refined as well as expanded making for a better experience in this newest offering. See More

Top Pro

Fun co-op quest mode

While not the core of this local multiplayer shooter there is an inclusion of a 2 player local co-op quest mode that features two players fighting against hordes of bad guys. Friendly fire is on, so without communication may be difficult, which is what makes this such a fun mode for local co-op play as both players need to communicate well to succeed. See More

Terraria

Top Pro

Playing with friends allows for endless scenarios

Up to 8 players can join any Terraria world. You can progress through the game normally, build a race course and compete in it, or split into factions and wage war against each other. The scenarios are endless, you just have to let loose your creativity. See More

Top Con

Progress can feel slow

Quite often you'll have to collect tons of materials to craft the necessary tools, equipment, and boss summoning items to advance. This can take a really long time, especially if you're unlucky with the items dropped by mobs. See More

xtgtyvoyvtyov See More

Specs

Genre:2D platformer / Minecraft-like

Co-Op:8 Player Online / 8 Player LAN

Controller Support:Android (MOGA / HID), Steam (Full)

Top Pro

Cooperative, team, or free for all

Up to 8 online players can be invited to join a shared Terraria world, including worlds that are also used in single-player mode. This allows for large co-op or PvP games to be played, for those that are interested, meaning you can choose how you play. Build something big together, or destroy the other guy's base. See More

Top Con

Gameplay can feel slow

While there is little to show progress in the game over gaining many items and having many structures built, progress overall can be slow due to having to collect every item needed to craft the necessary tool, equipment and materials. This can be time consuming and may turn some people off. See More

Top Pro

Extensive crafting system

The vast majority of items in Terraria can be used to create other items, often requiring specific crafting stations (which themselves must be crafted). This is the core of character advancement, since gear defines nearly everything about your character. See More

Top Con

No tutorial and un-intuitive menus

There is no tutorial to speak of and the menu system can be a bit cumbersome and confusing. See More

Top Pro

Lots of community servers, tutorials, and streams

Terraria has a large community of players on every platform including mobile, desktop, and console. Because of this, there are many servers to play on, as well as tutorials and Let's Plays. Finding content or help getting started is quite easy. See More

Top Pro

Fun combat

It starts out simple, with you whacking away at slow moving zombies and flying eyes, gradually shifting to more fierce and fearsome enemies such as flying demons, agile lizardmen, and many more. To survive you'll have to be always on the move, dodge enemy attacks, and be accurate when you retaliate. There are also plenty of weapons to choose from. Melee weapons such as swords, hammers, lances, and flails. Ranged weapons such as bows, crossbows, rifles, and miniguns. And various items that allow you to cast spells. Whatever you choose, it feels great to destroy hordes of enemies. See More

Top Pro

Intriguing world

Terraria uses a bright color palette and an upbeat chiptune soundtrack to ease you into its world. However, once you start exploring and spend time in it you'll notice it's not as cozy as it first seemed to be. Blood Moons that rouse the dead from their graves. Goblin armies trying to destroy everything in their wake. Vast and dark cave systems, filled with odd creatures and various dangers. Ancient ruins, teeming with the restless dead and evil spirits. Pockets of decaying land, thriving with misshapen monstrosities. It's really fun to explore and discover something new about the world of Terraria. See More

Top Pro

Encourages creativity for all ages

Terraria is like a 2D Minecraft, so you can alter the world around you and craft things, which teaches creativity and critical thinking skills. This is great for children who enjoy building and discovering new ways to tackle ideas just as it is great for adults who enjoy the same things. It also makes for a great objectiveless game where you can do just about anything you want, which allows for less stress due to being able to play at any pace the player likes. See More

Top Pro

2D retro-platformer style

Instead of building a deliberate feeling of suspense, Terraria uses bright palettes and arcade action to provide a fun experience outside of the survival elements. When those elements gradually appear one by one, each is all the more shocking from the contrast. See More

Top Pro

Large community

Terraria has a very large community as it is a very popular game. Released on just about every platform including mobile, PC/Mac/Linux, consoles, it allows for anyone to play no matter their prefered device. This also means that with many players comes many servers to play on as well as tutorials and Let's Plays. So finding content or help or just basic information on the game will be quite easy. See More

Borderlands

Top Pro

Addictive loot based gameplay

The loot in Borderlands is color coded to signal which loot is the most rare. This system of loot based collecting allows the user to always be on the hunt for more rare items, which can be addicting in the way it has been designed. See More

Top Con

No mini-map on screen

User will have to open the menu often in order to get their bearings as to where things are as there is no on-screen map, it is only in the menu. Having to pull up the menu so often for the map can be frustrating an immersion breaking. See More

Top Pro

Fun dungeon boss fights

Players can team up against dungeon bosses that are often large in scale and power making for fun tasks to complete that are separate from the main story tree. See More

Top Pro

The character customization is great

In Borderlands, once you reach a certain level, you begin to acquire talent points. Each point can be spent in several different ways that will enhance your characters power, and there are quite a few paths to take. For example, one character can power up his melee attacks, his ability to take hits, or his explosive capabilities (specifically with rocket launchers). Of course, as you gain more levels, even if you completely fill out one of those trees, you can start to gain points in another, and your talents begin to interact in interesting ways. See More

Top Pro

A great mix of first person shooter and RPG

Borderlands provides the feel of a first person shooter in the rich, story-driven world of an RPG. See More

Top Pro

A great sense of humor

The entire Borderlands series takes comedy pretty seriously. More accurately, it doesn't. There's a lot of cheap, light-hearted jokes in the game that really keep you smiling while you're blowing your enemies to tiny bits. See More

Diablo III

Top Pro

Heavily focused around customization

About 30 activated skills per class, 5 unique runes per activated ability that modify how it behaves, and randomized gear that can further change how your character plays. Your playstyle might dramatically change based off of how you want to cater to your team, what abilities you might have just unlocked, and whether or not you want your goblins fried or diced. See More

Top Con

Local Co-op not available on PC versions

Although a constant connection to their servers is necessary, players can still play locally using the same console. This is only available for consoles though as the PC version does not support local Co-op. See More

SmartHades's Experience

Specs

Genre:Dungeon Crawler RPG

Top Pro

Decent selection of character builds to try out

There are more than 50 distinct class/skill combinations, including ranged builds, melee builds, support builds, defensive builds, pure-offense builds, and many more. You're sure to find a build that you'll enjoy playing, whether you prefer to play alone or with friends. See More

Top Con

Endgame grinding can get really repetitive

The endgame in Diablo III consists of only two things – completing bounties and clearing greater rifts. Both of these have very little variation in them, so quite often you'll run through the same map layouts, clear the same enemies, and complete the same objectives. This gets extremely stale after long play sessions and can cause you not to pick up the game again. See More

Top Pro

Fun endgame with even better loot

Once beaten, the game adds an option to play over at a higher skill level, which also allows for better chances at better loot not found in the first run. This makes for much replayability through gameplay that may earn the player newer rewards. See More

Top Con

Less focused around growth than previous installments

Previous Diablo games were known for having permanent improvements throughout the game, where Diablo 3 focuses more on customization as you increase in levels rather than improving your abilities. There's a chance that you will unlock your favorite ability at level 5 (I'm looking at you, Rapid Fire) and never use anything else in the game, because you can. Many people consider this an issue with Diablo 3, and expected more of the "specialist" style of gameplay. See More

Top Pro

Really big boost in experience if playing of hard

By playing the game on higher difficulties users get a 75-1600% boost to their experience, which makes for a great reason to deal with hordes of very difficult enemies where one simple mistake ends in death. See More

Rocket League

Top Pro

Exciting physics dimension give a delightful sense of exaggerated abilities

The physics element of the game slightly bends reality, making way for a more thrilling experience where everything seems to be behaving as though there is less gravity. This means that cars can somewhat fly around if they hit one another or go up ramps. This makes for gameplay that gives the player a feeling of super abilities in that they are no longer abiding by the laws of gravity. See More

Top Con

Match making can be slow at times

Especially if you're a higher tier player it can take a while to find a suitable opponent. See More

Specs

Genre:Sports / Racing / Soccer

Co-Op:4 Player Online / 4 Player Couch

Controller Support:Full

Top Pro

Clear objectives keeps the focus on the gameplay

Get the ball in the net, soccer at it's simplest. This game is physics driven, using different cars as players, making it a fast-paced and exciting game with a basic underlying objective. Being easy to understand, just about anyone can get the hang of the game after a single play session. See More

Top Pro

Great for quick play sessions

Each game has a time limit of 5 minutes, paused only when one team scores and the ball is reset to mid-field. By keeping each session short, the game works well for people that want to play a quick game without getting drawn in to a longer objective. See More

Top Pro

Split Screen on PC

A rare feature for a PC game, you can play with friends in the same room, made easier with wireless controllers. Obviously a larger monitor would make this experience more enjoyable, but even on a 20 inch screen it is playable with minimal detail loss. See More

Top Pro

Simple controls

Whether you use a controller or keyboard and mouse, the controls are fairly simple. You are driving a car pushing a ball around, with forward, reverse, boost, power-slide and jump as your only real abilities to learn. The difficulty comes in learning to use these abilities to perform in air and off the wall maneuvers that will make for breath-taking replays and make the unexpected play. See More

Top Pro

Customization of cars is creative and fun

With DLC there are quite a few cars to choose from, including the Delorean from Back to the Future. The player can create a customized car with countless possibilities, ranging from choice of paint scheme, color, paint type (gloss/flat, etc.), wheels, boost color, hat, and antenna toppers. See More

Worms Armageddon

Top Pro

Allows for large multiplayer battles

Up to 6 teams, each with up to 8 worms can be present in the game. See More

Top Con

Single player puzzles are frustrating

Many of the single player campaigns are difficult due to frustrating puzzles that can take many tries to complete. As much as it is nice to have a single player campaign the real meat of the game is meant to be in the multiplayer, which shows in the design of these single player missions. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Genre:Strategy / Turn-Based

Controller Support:No

Top Pro

Easy to access multiplayer

Due to Worms Armageddons integrated Worms.net server the multiplayer is simple to join making for an intuitive online experience. See More

Top Pro

Easily practice in single player

Upon Armageddons release this was the first Worms title to have a single player campaign. This allows for a great way to practice before going online to play, which can be difficult due to being matched with players with a higher skill level. See More

Castle Crashers

Top Pro

Successfully avoids becoming repetitive and boring

Each level in the game has its own look and design which can keep the gameplay varied thanks to creating a need to explore in order to see what comes next. Ranging from deserts to ice filler terrain, there is no level that looks the same. See More

Top Con

Fair amount of grinding

There is a good amount of grinding that will need to take place for players to be able to advance past certain bosses. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Overwhelmingly Positive

Controller Support:G

Top Pro

Supports co-op up to 4 players

The most fun to be had with the game is during four player co-op play. The unlockables and upgrades also keep the player wanting to come back and play just a bit more with their friends. The co-op is available as local and online. See More

Top Pro

The gameplay is very lighthearted and amusing

There are several jokes and silly moments throughout the game. All done without speaking any word. This keeps the game lighthearted and amusing thanks to the humor of the creators and how they infused it into the game itself. See More

Overcooked

Top Pro

Play happens on a single screen

Everything in Overcooked happens on a single screen, meaning you won't have to deal with annoying split-screen modes where your view is limited. See More

Top Con

No online multiplayer

Local multiplayer only. Can't play with friends online. See More

Specs

Genre:Cooking / Simulation

Co-Op:4 Player Local

Top Pro

Simple to pick up and learn

Overcooked is easy to figure out right from the get-go. The recipes for each dish are familiar even if you're not much of a chef, so you can remember which raw ingredients you need as you make your way around the kitchen and work with your co-op partner(s). Once you play a few rounds, you should have a good handle on things, helping you focus on getting everything done as quickly as possible from there on out. See More

Top Pro

Requires close cooperation

There is a lot of task handoff and delegation so it's not just multiple players doing the same thing, but requires actual strategizing, communication, and cooperation. See More

Top Pro

Fast and frantic cooking action

Overcooked is really fast-paced and keeps you on your toes. You play as a chef in a crazy kitchen with a ton of things going on all at once, with you mixing, preparing, and cooking in between the chaos of moving platforms and environmental obstacles. There's a time limit constantly ticking down at the bottom of the screen; finishing your tasks on time or ahead of schedule earns you a better score in the end. It's such a manic yet well-done mix of many different genres and ideas that all come together in the best ways. See More

Top Pro

Lots of scenarios that require different strategies

Some levels in Overcooked are dynamic and greatly adapt the way you have to play in order to successfully complete a level. For example, at one point you and your partner(s) will be split up across multiple moving trucks and it requires quite some strategy to create meals together. See More

Top Pro

Can be so dramatic and challenging

Play with friends, will be a great time. See More

Spelunky

Top Pro

Provides an interesting challenge by heavily relying on increasing your skill

Spelunky gives the player everything needed to succeed from the start so it is only when the players skills get better will they advance. See More

Top Con

Co-op is boring and confusing

In co-op this game is very confusing with little instruction on how to play. With little to spice up the game play, it gets boring quickly. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Genre:Platformer / Indie / Roguelike

Co-Op:4 Player Couch

Controller Support:Full

Top Pro

Expanded gameplay through mods to improve replayability

Ranging from Mega Man to Metroid, there are a ton of great mods for Spelunky all of which makes for a new experience in the game which vastly expands the replayability. See More

Top Con

Difficult to the point of frustration

Spelunky is pretty difficult and some could say abusive, but with practice and a desire for masochism the game can be mastered. See More

Top Pro

Quick sessions so you can play in short bursts

Being that Spelunky is at its heart a roguelike the gameplay sessions can tend to be quick as the player will die quite often. This makes for something that can be played in quick bursts throughout the day. The convenient saving also lends to this as a game that is still ongoing can be quickly saved in order to be picked up at a later time. See More

HELLDIVERS

Top Pro

Great game with replayability

This game gives you most of the abilities and weapons you need to survive early so mastering the 50 levels takes a LONG time. But the fight there is great! Plus you have most of what you need to defeat harder planets. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Top Pro

Strategic

This game has three different galaxies, each one with a different kind of enemy. Each galaxy has a string of different level planets each with multiple missions as well as a boss planet for each galaxy. Within each galaxy the different planets have different terrains. You as a helldiver must prepare your weapons and stratagems to combat who you're fighting on what level you're fighting in whatever terrain there is. See More

Top Pro

Incentivising

Stratagems (such as tanks, airstrikes, ammo drops, etc.) are earned by defeating planets rather than leveling up. So if you're good at the game you're able to progress fairly quickly. See More

The definition of emergent gameplay

The amount of features is basically endless and you can use wathever you have at hand to complete missions trough the city: Money? Hire someone to do it for you. A "Friends" ray? Hypnotize the bouncer and let him tell everyone that you're good to go. A "Wall bypasser"? Teleport in, do your thing, teleport out. A mine? Leave it at the front door and give it a knock. A rocket launcher? Just blow it all up. You're a Gorilla that can't talk english? Free your comrades from a lab and ask them to help you raid the place. You have to kill a gangster? Lure him to a rival's territory and let the gang do your job See More

Minecraft

Top Pro

Great creativity tool

If you prefer building, creative mode is the way to go. It immediately gives you unlimited blocks, the ability to fly, and immortality. This allows you to easily build anything you want without worrying about height or enemies. Things like giant castles, villages, roller coasters, and even unique builds such as the Enterprise from Star Trek. You can really let your creativity loose. See More

Top Con

Boring without mods

Specs

Genre:Indie / Survival / Sandbox

Co-Op:8 Player Online / 4 Player Couch / 8 Player LAN/ Infinite Player Servers

Controller Support:Yes

Top Pro

Amazing extended community

The community surrounding this game is huge due to its popularity. There are lots of servers and projects revolving around it that allow for so many different choices in how one wants to play and who they want to play with. From crafting guides/videos, themed servers and YouTube play sessions, there is enough out there to help one find what they are looking for. See More

Top Con

Lack of meaningful story mode

There is no story mode in Minecraft: there is only a create mode or a survival mode. Neither, however, supply any kind of story or background as regard what is going on in the game. See More

Top Pro

Top Con

No world edit

Top Pro

Local multiplayer option for when there is no internet

Minecraft can be played by 4 players locally via splitscreen. This makes it a great way spend time with your friends and family when you don't have access to the internet. See More

Top Con

Too costly

Top Pro

Randomly generated worlds and distinct locations keep the gameplay fresh

Each new world is randomly generated, making for a different experience every time. There can be plains, rivers, beaches, ravines, giant mountains, hidden villages, and a lot more. There are also 38 biomes, which includes snow, desert, forest, swamp among others. Each one has its own set of unique blocks, plant life, and creatures. You won't get tired of exploring above ground or underground because every location will seem new and exciting. See More

Tiny Brains

Top Con

Very short campaign

The campaign itself can be played through within roughly 4 hours. See More

Top Pro

Local play makes for good back and forth between friends

Cooperating with players/friends in the same room can be quite fun bringing back memories of console games of the past where friends are yelling at each other in order to solve the levels of the game. When finally completing a level the sense of exhilaration is something that can't be matched over the internet. See More

Top Con

Single player is taxing

Due to the mechanics of the game needing all 4 characters in the level to solve a puzzle the single player mode sees the player hot-swapping between characters quite often in order to advance. This gets old pretty quick. See More

Top Pro

Great for couch play

Tiny Brains offers full controller support on PC, which makes it easy to control on a Steambox in the living-room. See More

Top Con

Looks to be abandoned

There are bugs in the game that inhibit connecting online with other players. This has been reported multiple times on the games forums with no response and the last update for the game was in 2014. See More

Top Con

Single player can get very repetitive

There's not much variety in the game and killing waves of enemies in the same way can get a bit boring after a while, especially during single player as it can get repetitive with no friends in the mix. See More

Endearing pure action gameplay

The premise of the game is to constantly be blasting giant alien insects in a slightly open world environment. Each level starts in a large sandboxed open world arena where alien insects will swarm the area. It is up to the player and the character they choose to use (of which there are four choices, each with their own skills/powers) on how killing these creatures will be carried out. Some of the available weapons for the different characters will be things like hand grenades, rocket launchers and automatic rifles. These weapons will be used in order to kill as many of the alien creatures that you can. Somewhat of a mindless style of play, blasting away anything that moves, but is appealing in its design due to the destruction that can be carried out. Each stage allows for compete destruction of all of its structures, meaning if there are enemies behind a building, you can just destroy the building in order to get to them. Overall the gameplay is quite fun and quirky in its B movie theme and design that allows for a never ending flow of creatures and areas to blast your way through. See More

May not appeal to everyone

The gameplay can get a bit repetitive and the lack of polish may be a turn off. While there is a good bit of content, many may not want to spend the time with a game they consider cheap looking that has little incentive to play other than mindlessly blasting away giant insect aliens. See More

Fun theme that does not take itself too serious

Much like a B movie, the game is themed as a low quality experience with dated looking graphics and a convoluted/outrageous story. The premise being, you are one of four playable characters whose job it is to destroy the onslaught of invading alien giant insects. There is little beyond this to be fleshed out, it is more aimed at being mindless fun. Luckily the little bit of story and dialogue you do get in the game often is a bit tongue in cheek, as it the game is often self aware of its role to play. See More

Top Con

Not a ton of polish

While a mainstay of the series (and some would argue the whole point of its design), the polish of the game is a bit rough. Voiced AI is constantly repeated and poorly delivered. There is little story to be found and the graphics, while playing at a constant 60fps in full HD, leave a lot to be desired. See More

Good co-op support

Players can play together locally and online in a cooperative manner, helping each other to defeat giant insect aliens that are attacking the city. The local co-op can be played on different devices (LAN) or even on the same device through split screen. The online multiplayer allows for easy access to friends and random people in order to play together. See More

Solid PC port

EDF is a pretty good port for PC (originally a PS2 game ported to PS4) with a constant 60fps during gameplay (no matter how many giant insects are on screen) as well as good keyboard and mouse controls with a few PC centric settings to be found in the menus such as anti-aliasing (only on or off). This is all able to be done in full HD (1080p). See More
