That's great news. The game already runs great on Steam Deck, but sometimes the EA app is really difficult to get logged in to.

I highly recommend this to anyone with a dock and a significant other. My wife and I played a lot of it together, and I overheard her telling her friends that it was like we were playing a pixar movie together.

Yep, a truly great game, deserves every award it got

[–] Risk@feddit.uk 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Me and my wife... Got really bored. The gameplay loop is supppperr trivial, and even though they add in stuff every now and again, eh...

I dunno, it's okay - but I just don't get the hype. I wanted to pitch in because if someone is considering buying it I'd really recommend checking a Let's Play of it before trying it.

It felt like a game specifically designed for a gamer to introduce gaming to their never-gamed-before partner. If you're both experienced gamers like we are, I wonder whether you'd give up on it too.

[–] Freeman@lemmings.world 1 points 5 months ago

My partner is pretty much a non gamer, for her it was perfect.

[–] Midnitte 5 points 5 months ago

Agreed, we thoroughly enjoyed it - hopefully, they make another game soon!

Fuck EA btw
Fuck those greedy customer-hostile profit-extracting bastards

Is it The End Of Days?

Is EA actually getting .. less shitty??

[–] lengau@midwest.social 5 points 5 months ago

EA is continuing to do what they've always done - attempt to suck up as much money as possible. It just so happens that for once they think being less shitty is the best way to do it. Don't hold your breath about this being a trend.

It's weirdly cyclical. I remember around when the original Dead Space came out (early iirc) they were acting pretty decently for EA.

[–] szczuroarturo@programming.dev 1 points 5 months ago

Honestly they still act shitty. Its just that their competition is ahead of them right now in this particual aspect to the point where you might think they behave fairly decently.

Great game, had a blast playing it with a buddy. I did not pay for it and there was no launcher either :)

[–] Princeali311@lemm.ee 6 points 5 months ago

Great, now do the rest of them

[–] penquin@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Is there ANY way to play this game single?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No. It's two player cooperative gameplay.

One of you will be doing one thing, and the other person something to help them, and it's always varying what you do.

It's not like Brothers a Tale of Two Sons, or Kuri Kuri Mix.

[–] penquin@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Damit. Ok, nevermind. Not buying it. :(

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Good news! If you find somebody else that has it, you can download and play it with them for free.

[–] penquin@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I saw the free one. I'll check with some friends to see if anyone has it or the free one.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's worth it. Story is kind of cringe, but the co-op adds some unique gameplay.

[–] penquin@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

Yeah, that's why I actually wanted it. It looks like a game I'd enjoy.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Anybody know if this game is noob friendly?

[–] Bienenvolk@feddit.de 3 points 5 months ago

It absolutely is. Had a great time with my girlfriend, who normally doesn't play at all.
