I believe that I'm missing some context for this game. It was a fine standalone experience, well worth the €2.79 I've paid for it (for the other person), but it feels more like a paid demo than a game. The assets are very high-quality, it's fully voice-acted, and…there's an ad for We Were Here Forever at the end. It all just feels a bit strange.

The game itself consists of an intro and three minigames. Completing each minigame will earn you a ticket – bronze, silver, or gold – based on your performance. I've played this game through twice with my girlfriend and I believe we are both decent at video games, but some of the game design feels a bit unfair. All three minigames grade you based on your attained score, but only one of them (Maps & Markers) is designed to be played all the way through before you are given a verdict – both other games can be failed midway through, and if you have met the minimum requirement for at least a bronze ticket, you are forced to take it and continue on, without being able to retry. The host also sounds very disappointed at you in these cases, which only rubs the salt in, even if you don't feel like the failure was fully your fault. In the absence of a chapter select, this makes it difficult to want to go back and try again from the very beginning.

Below are my opinions about the game's separate segments – SPOILERS AHEAD!

The intro is organic and a nice hidden tutorial. I like how the game lets you subtly choose who goes on which side (the player who ends up being on the left side holds the way open for the other person), so you can switch without changing who is hosting.

Unfortunately, this minigame isn't a strong start. Your first challenge immediately ends up being a time-limited one. The game doesn't progress in difficulty, so you only have a few seconds to act each round all the way through. There is a role-switch partway through the game and you are given no time to readjust – if you fail at this ‘choke point,’ you have already passed the bronze level, and so you cannot try again.

This one is easily my favourite – I would love to play it again outside of this video game. It is essentially an oversized board game where each player has their own board with different designs and mechanics, but they must work together to attain the highest possible score. I absolutely adored the art style in this part – it reminded me of old fantasy games I've played as a child, like Rayman. This is also the only game where the point tresholds feel well thought-out – unless you actually understand the game, it is impossible to score enough points for even a bronze ticket. Unfortunately, the game is pretty light in its explanation, and I only truly understood how to effectively work together once I've experienced both sides for myself.

Here, one player is being shown a false world, and the other person must guide them through the real one while helping them avoid obstacles. I think the idea and design for this one is great…or at least for the parts we actually got to experience. Here, too, the bronze ticket's treshold is way too low in my opinion. We've failed relatively early in both of our playthroughs, and were dragged away by the game without being able to try again. There was also a timer puzzle that seemed to change the timing without warning, so even if you trust your guide, the game might screw the both of you over, anyway…

Despite its shortcomings, I still thought this was a fun game. I also do believe the problems it currently has could be easily solved with a patch; just…

• Raise the bronze ticket's points requirement for Crewmate Carousel and Siren's Curse, so people can try again if they fail at the beginning
  
• Give a little more time for each round in Crewmate Carousel, and also more time to react to the role-change
  
• Let players try again even if they've reached the points tresholds for each minigame and/or add a chapter select

Also, pleeease make Maps & Markers a real board game. I would buy it immediately.

Great game! Especially if you play it with your SO.

Rockstar has added BattlEye anti-cheat to GTA Online 9 years after release, breaking Linux-compatibility.

UPDATED 14 June 2025:

It took over a year, but the previously-blocked countries are now unblocked. I can finally play again with my friends from those regions.

The game is great and the dedication of the developer team for maintaining a continuous story with updates and new content, even in the face of their absolutely evil publisher, is commendable.


UPDATED 11 May 2024:

Sony, in their infinite wisdom, added another country to the ban list instead of clearing it. I would give this game two negative reviews if I could.

UPDATED 9 May 2024:

The game is great.

The PSN account debacle seems resolved for now, but we have little more to go on than a statement on Twitter by PlayStation and the developers' promise. The game continues to be region locked out of nearly 200 countries and territories, however (the same ones that the PSN does not support, and two of which my friends live in). Once that is resolved, I will change this to a positive review.

Ha szereted a retrót, ezt a játékot is szeretni fogod!
-Végtelen életek
-Achievementek
-PIXELEK!

A játék nagyon nehéz, és épp ezért jó!

Hats are love, hats are life...

Szórakoztató játék, csak az ingyenes verzióban nincs sokmindent csinálni: Alapból kapsz 3 játékmódot (Asszem 5-6 van összesen) és 2 "gentlemen"-t (Amiból legalább 6 van most, és a frissítések még többet fognak behozni...).

A játék már nem mai darab, ezt be kell vallanom. Elmékszem, kiskoromban imádtam a demóval játszani, és most már a teljes játék is ingyenes! :) Ha valaki játszani akar vele:
Pro:
+Nagyon szórakoztató darab
+Új repülők nyerhetők a szintlépésekkel...
+...amikhez új skineket is vehetsz a Multiplayer Pontjaid felhasználásával! (Így igaz, nincsenek mikrotranzakciók igazi pénzzel!)
+Kicsi a mérete (Pár szász MB)

Kontra:
-A multiplayer pontok már nem szerezhetők meg, mivel a készítők már nem "adnak" (Alapból kapsz 300-at. Abból kijön 3 skin... Jó szórakozást...)
