This game doesn't take itself seriously for even a moment. You're thrown into absurd levels full of traps, puzzles, and betrayal - especially if you’re playing in coop. It also looks cute and goofy as heck, but it’s short but super fun overall.
this brings me back to 360 times. This is so nostalgia, now im not too old but old enough to say i lived the prime era of this game. 10/10 no matter what year we're in. :)
Came back after over a decade for the QoL update and I was pleasantly surprised. I played this game on xbox years ago and playing it now on PC with a controller doesn't feel any different in terms of gameplay. The looks and feels of the game have gotten a lot of love and it's pretty well optimized.
