BattleBlock Theater

Top Pro

Well thought out presentation

From the witty humor, enjoyable songs or the theater cutscenes, BattleBlock shows a high level of consideration for its design. See More

Top Con

Competitive play feels lackluster

Competitive play is not as enjoyable as the co-op modes due to stiff combat, really the mechanics of this wear out pretty quickly. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Overwhelmingly Positive

Co-Op:2 Player Online / 4 Player Couch

Genre:Platformer / Indie

Controller Support:Full

Top Pro

Thought-out presentation that balances style and humor well

The witty humor, enjoyable songs and cutscenes all demonstrate the high level of care and consideration that went into BattleBlock’s design. These things all add up to a game with polish that still stays unique enough to stand out. See More

Top Pro

2-player co-op campaign, 4-player competitive levels

The 2-player co-op campaign is very similar to the single-player one, but slightly different because it requires co-operation between the two players. It can be played either online or with 2 local players. There is also a versus/arena mode with competitive levels. Such mode supports up to 4 players (local, online or mixed). See More

Top Pro

Well balanced difficulty curve

The difficulty curve for Battle Block Theater is so evenly programmed that the player will barely notice that it is progressively getting more difficult. It really does a swell job of integrating the player to where they can handle any challenge the game throws at them. See More

Top Pro

Co-op adds a completely new element to the gameplay

There is a modified co-op campaign in the game where players must coordinate their actions to succeed. This makes for a fun couch co-op game due to the communication one must have with their partner as well as how fun it is to grief them in person. See More

Top Pro

Thousands of user-created levels

The game has a built-in level editor, and levels (or level packs) can be shared through Steam Workshop. See More

Castle Crashers

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

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

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 Con

Bugs that appeared in the original XBox title were not fixed for the PC port

There are still bugs and glitches in the game that were in the original XBox version. Even though there were simple fixes for some of these the dev nor publisher bothered to address them. See More

AmbitiousOccopirmus's Experience

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

CheerfulCronus's Experience

It's good pretty much but pretty hard to kill some enemies and mostly your elemental powers miss the enemy and it has to be RIGHT in front of them but mostly the rest is fun,good storyline,good graphics and animation. See More

Lovers In A Dangerous Spacetime

Top Pro

Gameplay focuses on relying on the other player

Much like a good marriage the game focuses on having each player rely on the other in ties of need. This makes for an experience that when executed properly shows how much of a team two people can be. See More

Top Con

Co-op is local only

Unfortunately, online co-op is not an option. However, forcing the players to be side by side aids in coordination and makes for a more personal experience. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Co-Op:4 Player Local

Genre:Shooter, Platformer

Top Pro

Adorable aesthetic

Both the story and art style are beautiful and playful, encouraging a fun atmosphere even in difficult or complicated scenarios. The soundtrack carries you along with a light but fast-paced beat to maintain the balance between fun and focus. See More

Top Pro

Teamwork is demanded

As offense, movement and defense are entirely separate stations, you simply cannot beat the game alone in co-op mode, regardless of any single player's skill level. This holds true especially in harder difficulties where constant communication and coordination is critical. See More

Top Pro

Seamless controller support and good optimization

Various controllers on steam link worked seamlessly with undetectable slowdown or lag, similar to the developer's other game "Overcooked". There is a lot of yelling at each other when you play these games and it is a compete blast! See More

Top Pro

Upgrades of weapons and systems creates good replayability

The fact that weapons and systems can be upgraded challenges you to try different methods of defeating attackers. See More

Top Pro

Catchy techno soundtrack

Lovers has a very interesting and catchy soundtrack that goes great with its retro, neon-based aesthetic. See More

Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara

Top Pro

Allows for 4-Player co-op (online and local) just as in the arcades

Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara has 4 player local and online co-op play which is the same scenario that the arcade allowed with up to four players at the same time. See More

Top Con

Short gameplay

At only 2 hours the games are a bit short and are easily finished in a single sitting, though to be expected as they are ports of classic arcade games, which normally had these type of play times. See More

Specs

Co-Op:4 Player Online / 4 Player Couch

Controller Support:Full

Top Pro

Challenges and trophies

Newly added into the game are challenges and earn-able trophies which extends the gameplay by allowing those to seek out these tasks. It also allows for some bragging rights for those that have completed certain ones. See More

Top Con

Co-op is spotty and limited

There is no way to mix local and online players, so it has to be one or the other. On top of that the net code seems a bit spotty as disconnects can happen. See More

Top Pro

Widescreen support

Being that the original arcade games in this set were 4:3, it is nice that the developers included a widescreen mode for modern monitor support. See More

Top Pro

Not just a normal beat 'em up

There are a few additions that make these games more than just a regular beat 'em up. Branching paths, item shops with usable inventory and special player abilities create a game that is more like an action RPG than a side scrolling beat 'em up. See More

Gauntlet

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

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

Specs

Co-Op:4 Player Online / 4 Player Couch

Genre:Dungeon Crawler RPG, Hack n' Slash

Controller Support:Full/ Unfull

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

Top Pro

4 player local and online co-op

Gauntlet has support for local and online 4 player co-op. 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

Good co-op options no matter if you want to play locally or online

Gauntlet has support for local and online 4 player co-op. Making for a game that works well for small groups. See More

Top Pro

Bosses offer good bit of diversity to the gameplay thanks to requiring different strategy over the base gameplay

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

Choices are actually meaningful

This game constantly gives you interesting choices that influence gameplay. Based on the unique choices you make, your character gains certain personality traits such as proud, greedy, vengeful, and many more. Depending on which traits you earn in your playthrough, different quests and character interactions become available. For example, if you're really brave, certain other NPCs might give you an extra quest. If you're greedy, they may not want anything to do with you. When vengeful, they may request you to carry out a kill for them. Sometimes bosses can even be seduced instead of killed if your choices in the game led you to earn the seduction trait. See More

Top Con

Ranged classes are overpowered

Some classes like Druids and Mages are way too powerful because of their ranged attacks and AoE crowd control that can lock down an entire group of enemies from across the map. It can often feel like ranged has a distinct advantage due to having more control over enemy placement, whereas melee is a bit more difficult to play. See More

Derpy lion

You can randomly encounter a lion that will follow you around, can take damage, and does nothing. See More

Top Con

Camera can skip around in local co-op

Sometimes during local co-op, the camera seems to jump around at times as it isn't quite sure where it's supposed to be when there are multiple players on the screen. See More

Top Pro

Great for bite sized gaming sessions

Each playthrough from start to finish is designed to be completed in an hour or two. See More

Top Pro

A new experience each time you play

The overworld, levels, and vendors are randomly generated each playthrough which means you'll always be able to explore new maps or find new quests. As you play, you can also unlock different classes, personality traits, recipes, and skills which all contribute to trying something different in your next run. For example, you might learn the ability to talk to animals, so in all your future runs you can now converse with animals which could open potential new quests and interactions. You may even an unlock a new class which provides a whole fresh set of spells and abilities. See More

Top Pro

Gorgeous art style will draw you in

Visually, the game just looks fantastic. The graphics are crisp, clean, and have a hand drawn feel - oftentimes resembling a colorful painting. Everything has a very polished smooth feel to it, without jagged edges. There's a great use of color in the tilesets. The color ramping is handled incredibly well, especially in the shades of green in the grass. From forests with spanning mountain vista backgrounds to a fiery wasteland with crags and volcanoes, each map has a stunning level of detail to help bring you into the game world. See More

Top Pro

Soundtrack is excellent

The music ranges from mysterious during exploration to a panicked beat during combat. Beautiful, soothing melodies with haunting vocals play during more emotional moments. All of the tracks in the game fit the area or experience they are made for, and do a great job of conveying the mood. Sometimes when you encounter a specific character or make a specific dialogue choice, the music will change based on the mood you just invoked. The soundtrack was so heavily beloved and requested, that it's sold as a standalone. See More

Top Pro

Upgrades are super rewarding and provide instant gratification

Since runs aren't very long, gear is immediately rewarding to cram as much power as possible into a short play session. Instead of loot just being a simple increase in stats, your power will sometimes double instantly. When you equip something new, you can immediately feel the difference in your character's power level, always making it a rewarding experience to get an upgrade. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 you view is limited. See More

MerryTapio's Experience

Co-Op:4 Player Local

Genre:Cooking / Simulation

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

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

Complete freedom when building your character(s)

Even though you choose a class when creating your character, it only affects your starting equipment. You can create a character build with any skills you like without class or archetype constraints. This includes a fire mage that wears heavy armor while wielding a shield and a hammer, an archer that can use teleportation magic to always keep the distance, and countless more. You even get to build your companion characters from the ground up, allowing for hundreds of party combinations. As an added bonus, once you complete Act 1 of the game, you can respec your build whenever you want, free of charge. Because of this, you don't have to worry about messing up your build, allowing you to freely try out any skill combination/setup. See More

Top Con

Final battle is ridiculously hard

We loved this game, but the final battle is so ridiculously hard that we gave up. That's kind of annoying, but the game was still worth it. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Co-Op:2-4 Players

Genre:Turn-based RPG

Controller Support:Yes

Top Pro

Huge amounts of content and choices

The main campaign has a staggering amount of content. The maps you'll explore are massive with various routes, containing numerous quests, battles, secrets, and even ambushes along the way. Even if you rush through the story, a single playthrough will last you about 50 hours. D:OS2's greatest strength, however, is the ability to choose. This includes choosing your character, your companions, what builds to use for them, what route to take when exploring the map, how to solve various encounters and quests, and many more. Every single choice affects how the story progresses, and a bad decision early on can come back to haunt you later. As a result, there's enough variety to keep multiple playthroughs new and exciting from start to finish. See More

Top Con

Slight learning curve

Very few game worlds have the same interactivity as D:OS2. Because of this, it can be easy to forget that using fire near an oil barrel will cause it to blow up in your character's face, or if a fire is blocking your way, you can just douse it with water. As a result, it might take a while until you get fully used to the interactivity. See More

Top Pro

Local co-op

Top Pro

Outstanding multiplayer mode that allows for endless content

D:OS2 features a Game Master mode, which lets you create custom multiplayer campaigns for up to 4 players, with the 5th player assuming the role of a Game Master. When creating a campaign, you can use any asset within the game, such as characters, items, etc, and import new, user-made assets as well. You can even create new quests, levels, and alter any of the existing assets, allowing you to go as far as creating a sci-fi campaign if you have the patience. Additionally, because there is a game master, you can create various role-playing events not possible in a normal campaign. For example, you can designate one of the playable characters as a kleptomaniac, so whenever they're near an object that can be stolen, you'll have to roll a dice to determine if that character resists the urge to steal or not. On top of that, the game master can control NPCs, add quests, and make rule adjustments on the fly. There's enough creative freedom to create any campaign/story you want, keeping you interested in D:OS2 long after you've finished the main campaign. Even if you don't want to create a campaign on your own, you can just download a campaign made by another user. See More

Top Pro

Very deep turn-based combat

Winning battles in D:OS2 is equal amounts of preparation and tactics. When preparing for battle, you need to consider your group setup, your formation as you enter the battle, and even what equipment you bring with you. For example, during one battle you fight against an ice dragon that constantly freezes the ground. Any character that steps on the frozen ground will slip. To avoid this, you can equip spiked shoes on your characters before the battle, allowing them to retain footing. During combat, you always need to keep in mind things like turn order, positioning, height, and how various magical effects interact with the environment and characters. For example, standing on a cliff increases your range and visibility, using a lightning spell on a puddle electrocutes all characters standing in it. Fast characters will get a turn first, so a group of fast characters could end a battle without letting enemies retaliate. As a result, the combat has enough depth and variety to satisfy any RPG fan and even entice newcomers of the genre. See More

Top Pro

Great soundtrack

D:OS2 has an expertly composed soundtrack, giving the world a great amount of color and atmosphere. From the mellow flute permeated with ambience and a divine chorus when you travel down a road, to the upbeat strumming of string instruments as you ransack a tavern, to even a ominous orchestra during a confrontation with a dragon. Wherever you are in the game, the soundtrack is a joy to listen to. See More

Top Pro

Excellent and thorough voice acting

Every single dialogue line in D:OS2 has a voice-over. From the prattling of an overzealous city guard, to the lines a sketchy shopkeeper feeds you, to even the conversations you have with forest animals. You even get a narrator to read out long walls of text for you. On top of that, each and every voice actor's performance is superb, providing depth and nuances even to obscure side-characters, which is hardly ever experienced in games. See More

Characters based on 7 deadly sins

Each character represents one of the seven deadly sins making the game a bit of a moral tale. See More

Top Con

Tedious level design

There is a lot of backtracking and lever pulling that gives a feeling of lazy level design to elongate the game. See More

Top Pro

Cheesy jokes of the best kind

The Cave has a good sense of humor within, something expected when considering the game was created by the same people as The Secret of Monkey Island. See More

3 player local co-op

The Cave supports up to 3 player local co-op play. Sadly there is no online co-op. See More

Broforce

Top Pro

Excels at co-op

Broforce features 4-player couch and online co-op and it truly shines in that environment. Each additional player will increase the hilariously frantic nature of the game by a significant margin. See More

Top Con

Dying in co-op can feel a lot more punishing than it should be

If you run out of lives in co-op, you'll be forced wait until your teammates revive you by freeing a prisoner or until the level ends. If you're not very good at the game, this might happen a lot more often, which just turns into you watching others play the game and not playing yourself. See More

Specs

Co-Op:4 Player Online / 4 Player Couch

Genre:Action / Indie / Platformer

Controller Support:Full

Top Pro

Tons of level destruction

Many objects in the levels are destructible allowing for large explosions, which keeps the gameplay frantic. This will multiply depending on how many players are playing at the same time making for a very hectic gaming session. See More

Top Con

Poor character balancing

Some characters are obviously better than the others, or are highly situational. For example, the shotgun wielding character has really low range, so sometimes it's really hard to take out the enemies before they rip you to shreds from afar. See More

Top Pro

Things are kept fresh by requiring you to switch up your gameplay style often

The game has 30+ different characters and each character plays differently. You change them every time you die or save a hostage which can be anywhere from every few minutes to seconds. See More

Top Con

Can be pretty difficult

You can be killed by just one bullet, which creates a trial and error type of gameplay where you have to perfectly memorize all enemy locations and/or movement patterns. This gets multiplied by a hundred during boss battles, so after dying a lot of times you might start feeling frustrated. See More

Top Pro

Everything is over the top

Much like an 80s action movie, the violence, destruction and plot is all overly exaggerated. Players can blow apart their enemies with bullets as well as blow up whole section of the game with explosives. There will be blood everywhere and explosions all around. See More

Top Con

Single player not as fun as multiplayer co-op

The single player mode becomes boring pretty quick making the game more of a puzzle platformer than a multiplayer co-op frag fest. See More

Top Con

Large amount of repetition

Enemies are repeated often and environments do not change up that much either, the majority of time is spent in a jungle with a few urban or tunnel environments thrown in the mix with enemies that look and act the same scattered around too much. There is a level of "sameness" with this game that may tire some people out. See More

Top Con

Controls on the keyboard don't work that well

The game is clearly designed with a controller in mind. Specifically, a mechanic that allows throwing enemies and various objects uses the analog stick to aim. Aiming using the keyboard is limited to 8 directions and is not sufficiently precise. See More

Roguelike origins allow for quick sessions

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.

It gets tougher as time passes by. That means by minute 40, you are playing at hardcore difficulty.

Top Con

Buggy

Top Pro

Fun power-ups

The game includes powerups like homing rockets, freeze rays and magma balls that can quickly change the game and add a level of randomness to each match making for a unique experience every time. See More

Top Pro

Gives everyone a chance to win

The game is balances up in a way where it's naturally harder for the player in front to see upcoming obstacles, giving players behind great opportunities to get back ahead. This makes the game fun to keep playing in a group as you're unlikely to keep losing to the one over-competitive friend that tries too hard. 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
